Stand Tall

This is such a beautiful stamp! This May release Technique Junkies stamp is called is called Zinnias With Monarch.  The verse is from the stamp Stand Tall.  Zinnias do stand straight and tall and don't flop over like some flowers do.

I used Twinkling H2O's to paint this image, including the sky.

Congratulations Graduate!

 
Happy Sunday, and welcome!  It's my turn to post on the Technique Junkies blog today.  For my card I chose the Graduation Greetings set.  

This fabulous set is jam-packed with any image you will need to make graduation cards!  It has eleven stamps; four images and seven verses.

Here is one of the cards I have made from this set...

Stamps:  Graduation Greetings
              French Text

To create my background panel, I brushed antique linen distress ink onto white card stock, then stamped the French Text in the same ink.  I stamped some of the ink off on scrap paper first to lighten it.

I used my VersaFine Claire Nocturne ink pad to stamp the images and verse.  I love this ink, as it always provides full, rich coverage of my stamped images.  I always use my Misti stamping tool when stamping, so that I can stamp again to get deeper color if needed.  This tool has saved so many start-overs for me!

I layered my stamped panel onto a black panel, then onto a cream colored A2 card front.  In added the Congratulations panel with foam tape for dimension.  

Inside:  I stamped the verse, and added a strip of patterned paper from my stash.

I hope you are inspired by my card today.  If you haven't checked out these April release stamps yet, you can see them HERE.  For more inspiration, you can find the release blog post HERE, with all of the designers' blog post links.

Hello Junkies! 

It's Ceal, here to share a project with you today My card today uses this gorgeous set Zinnias with Monarch from our May release. 

Remember you can save 15% off all new releases until the 8th and if you use my code TJ10Ceal then its another 10% off so 25% off! 

To create my card I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel. Using the Original MISTI I stamped the image and then colored it using Copic Markers.

You may notice a border around the image, what I did was ran a marker over that order to make it bolder.

Zinnias With Monarch

Hey everyone! Jessie here again today to share some awesome inspiration with you!

The May new release launched yesterday, so today I have a pretty project using one of those stamps to share with you. 

I used the Zinnias with Monarch to create this fun little card. You know how we buy these super cool products, use them a few times then forget about them. Well that is what happened here. Years ago I purchased the Mega flakes, its like scraps of gold leaf and different colours of leaf. I used it a few times then forgot I had them. Well, I was cleaning the studio and found them, and was like hmmm this would make a really cool Technique Junkies card! And here we are. 

So I started off by "stamping" the image with glue then adding the flake, you can't see the beauty of the flakes on the straight on shot, so you get this neat angled one too! after that I just added some simple light washes of watercolour. To finish it off I used the Wildly Capable sentiment (masking off the flowers on the side). 

Thanks for stopping by,
Hugs
Jessie

YOU ARE AMAZING

Hello everyone!!! 

I'm in love with the face stamps from the Palettini collection from Technique Junkies Stamps and this one "Let's Face It 4" in particular.  Isn't she stunning?  I paired her with the sentiment "You Are Amazing", which I thought was so appropriate for this face.  

Copic markers were used to color in the face.  If you like to color, these stamps are perfect for that, and this stamp really makes it easy to create a card for someone special.    

If you'd like to purchase some stamps from the Palettini collection or ANY of the Technique Junkies stamps, use my personal discount code and enjoy a 10% discount on your entire order!  TJ10CHERI.  

Sadly, I'm here with my last post for Technique Junkies Stamps.  I hope I've inspired you during the last 2 1/2 years I've been on this team of incredibly talented artists.  I feel so fortunate to have been among them.  And I thank Pat Huntoon for giving me this wonderful opportunity.
