TJ ATC Swap #2

The 2nd TJ ATC swap is back and it was another fun one. The requirement is just to use a TJ technique from a newsletter or any CD.
I am the hostess, and I made  2 sets of ATC's.

 This is the Faux Metallic Gelato technique from the Artistic effects CD and the image is Stampendous - colored with Copics, and SU sentiment.

  This is called the Whitewash Chic technique, also from the Artistic effects CD. Sentiment is Technique Junkies Stamps (formerly known as Stamp Camp).

Next, Barb I, also made 2 ATC's:

 Lt- Splattered Bleach (Feb/March 2013) and Rt- Ribbon Tab (Dec/Jan 12-13)

 Beth C:

Tie Die Circles (April/May 2014)

Cheryl R. made:

 Pieced Zines (2/2010)


Cindy T made:

Ancient Paper (Dec/Jan 09-10)


 Dawn T made:

 Bubble wrap Stamp & Embossed

Holly made 2 ATC's:

 Lt Pearly Gelato Wash (4/2014) and Rt-Line Pop (12/2012)

Juliet A made:

 Penciled Twinks (2/2008)

and Lynne W made:

 Bandana (8/08)

We'd love to have you join us in the next swap- we each make 5, and the swaps will be due to me on 7/18

TOTW - Embossed Color Pencils

Hi Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks "Try that Technique".  I loved seeing your creations from last week, they were all fantastic and I am so happy so many of you joined along.

This is such a cool technique and so easy to do.  I did this card up for my cousins' wedding celebration this weekend.  I love this stamp from I Brake For Stamps, I use it for all kinds of celebrations.  I colored it up with my prismacolor pencils.  The sentiment is one from Gina K Designs.

It's hard to see the embossing in this picture so I took this one to show you.  It adds a new level of interest to your card.

I would love to see what you come up with.  Hope you have a crafty week!

Hello Hetty here with a card

for the Summer! The bckground of this card is done in the

UM stamps.

the technique background.

Broken Borders

 

 

 



From the August/September 2012 newsletter.

The colors are a bit distorted in the scan but you get the idea.

These cards are really fun, fast and easy Suitable for any occasion.

The verse is from Hero Arts and the Flourish is from Magenta. The punch is from Fiskars. I enjoy going back to the older newsletters and picking a random technique. I always feel like I am visiting an old friend. Why don't you give it a try?

 

See you back here soon!

TOTW - Sponged Ombre Watercoloring

Hi Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks "Technique of the Week"!  I couldn't wait to color up this fantastic Saturated Canary stamp with my copics.

I used the Sponged Ombre Watercoloring technique on both the background of the Eiffel Tower and on the blue & purple background.  I resurrected my neglected Quickutz alphabet and die cuts.  I forgot how much I love them.  I also used the out of the nestie box technique (always a favorite). 

This is such an easy technique, we would love for you to join us this week to see what you come up with.  I love all the inspiration from this group!

TOTW - Graidant Sponging

I needed a sympathy card and decided this technique would do nicely.  I used distress inks for the sponging.  I think I need to clean my scanner...LOL.

The stamp is from Stampin Up!

Won't you play along with us?

Thanks for stopping by...and have a crafty day!

Gradient Sponging

Hello. Beth Norman here with this week's Technique of the Week.

 How is your week going so far?  Finally we're having nicer weather and with that my mojo seems to have come back.  I had so much fun creating a morphed Gradient Sponging.  I took creative liberty in layering the gradient sponging as you can see.  

My background was created by stamping and heat embossing, then sponging ink over the background.  

Thank you for dropping by!
