Whisped Frames

Hi folks.  I had to make a get well card so I turned to two adorable stamps from the Technique Junkies Stamps:  the bird on a flourish branch and a background stamp.  I used the Whisped Frames technique, an oldie but goodie technique that enhances the main image.

I saw this colour combination on a card while surfing Splitcoast Stampers and really wanted to try my hand at it too.  Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo from SU were used.  I was lucky enough to have ribbon in a coordinating colour too. 

TOTW Tissued Watercolors

What a great technique this is from the current newsletter! It's like getting two techniques in one. You have to make the Crinkled Watercolor technique so you can then make the Tissued Watercolor technique. Two cards for the effort!

This card uses all Technique Junkie stamps. Don't you love the verse? This is the lighter watercolor of the two cards I made. I rather like the pastel look.

 This card also uses all Technique Junkie stamps. Quite a different look with the bolder colors.

This is a fun and versatile technique. Give it a try and post your creations to the yahoo group.

See you back here soon!

Technique of the Week - Tissued Watercolors

Hi Junkies, Tricia here again with this week's technique of the week.  Hopefully you kept your tissue from last weeks technique of the week because we challenge you to use it for this week's technique of the week - Tissued Watercolors.  I actually used 2 different pieces to make this background.

Stamps:  Gina K Designs (colored it with copics)

I hope you have a crafty day!

Throwback Saturday - Double Emboss & Cut

I made this card for my girlfriends daughter who graduated college.  I used my copics to color her dress and to color my flowers to match.  The background is done with the Double Emboss and Cut technique from the October 2011.  I love this technique...it gives such a great effect to your spellbinder die cuts.  I have to remember to use it more.

All papers are from Gina K Designs.  I used my various dies.  I quilled the roses and lilies.  Stamps are from Saturated Canary, Stampin Up! and Gina K Designs.

Crinkled Retirement

Hi, Bloggers!  Ann Clack here with the Technique of the week, Crinkled Watercolors with a little Out of the Box technique as well.    The Crinkled Watercolors was such a fun technique!  It is fast and easy.  If you haven't had a chance to try it yet, don't delay!  I made this card for a friend who retired.  I hope that you enjoy! 

Crinkled Watercolors by Judy Jackson

 I hope you had a wonderful July 4th celebrating freedom in the USA -- that is if you are an American.

The technique I have to show you today is called Crinkled Watercolors from the current newsletter.  This technique is one of those when in utilizing this technique you will actually create TWO backgrounds.  That is always a plus in book! So this week I will show two cards made from this part of the "doubled technique."  Next week I will show you the next cards made from the "left overs" of today's technique.  I hope that intrigues you!

The stamp credits for this card are Hero Arts, and I think some are from Stampsmith.  However, they are unmounted stamps I do not remember who made them. The "Everything has a story" stamp is from Impression Obsession.  

The stamp credits for this card are Paper Bag Studios, Stampers Anonymous, and Impression Obsession.  This focal image started it's existence as an ATC for a swap.

Come back next week  to see the next two cards from the "left over" part from this technique!

What are you creating today?

Gesso Off

 

This technique is from the 10/2009 newsletter. I am having fun going back into the archives so to speak and trying the techniques that I have long forgotten

 

 

This card was really a joy to make as it comes to life as you go along.

The stamps used are from Sizzix, PSX and Technique Junkies.

 

It appears that I need to clean the glass on my scanner, LOL! I haven't had use of my desktop in several days. We are having some serious dust storms which they have recently named haboobs. I didn't think I was going to be able to post my card at all. I gave it one last try before going to bed and got lucky.

 

I hope you find some inspiration here and try some of the oldies but goodies.

I will be back next week with the TOTW.

 

Wishing you all well,

Jackie K
