Something Different

Hello, and happy Sunday!   Lynda Joy here, with a card to share, as it's my turn to post today.  I'm going bold today, and a bit messy!  I love to use lots of color, and the messier, the better!  I have so much fun playing with my paints, inks, and products.   

I used the stamp Something Different SD708 for my card today.  The stamp includes the verse, so it's just one stamp.

I stamped the image onto a bristol panel.  I used permanent black ink to stamp it.  For the coloring, and the fabulous drips, I used Caran D'Ache watercolor crayons.  For my full technique, please visit my blog,  PaperArtsCafe, for complete directions. 

I hope you like my card.  If you are planning to shop at the Technique Junkies store, don't forget to use my code, TJ10Lynda, for your 10% discount!

Blessings,

Paint the World

Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I wanted to a pretty card made with some of the wonderful August release products!

This card uses an awesome new background stamp, 'World Compass'. I stamped the sentiment from the new set 'Celebrate Diversity' on the white focal panel, then stamped the image using Versamark Ink, and embossing with white embossing powder onto another white panel. Using the 'Ink Blending Brushes', I blended some Distress Oxide ink onto the image. The layers were adhered together, and mounted onto a Kraft card base.

I love making cards that are so very easy, but look difficult! Technique Junkies background stamps make such an awesome card!  

This August release has been amazing! Wait until you see the September release!

Don't forget!!! You can always save 10% on any order by entering TJ10Patti at checkout.

This were so easy to create, and perfect for the turmoil in our world today! Hope you will take a look at this wonderful sentiment set!

Now, be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out the incredible new stamps this month! 

Thanks for stopping by,

Gnomes in Action

 If you like action cards, you're in for a treat today. Because I have an adorable double z-fold wiper card featuring Gnomies Forever. Here is the card in it's closed position...

Cute, right? But check it out when it's opened...

Hey! Where'd that fourth guy come from? It's magic! Here it is in action...

While this card is a little more complicated than a regular fold card, it is attainable. I google double z-fold wiper cards and found a ton of great tutorials. I chose not to create my own tutorial since I didn't feel the need to reinvent the wheel. The trickiest part of this card is getting the wiper mechanism positioned and attached. The rest of the card is easy peasy.

I assembled the card using some fun papers. I stamped and fussy cut four of the cute lil gnomies and attached them to the card and wiper mechanism. I decided not to color them because they really stood out in just black and white. The birthday sentiment is Donuts Happy Birthday. The other sentiment is from the Gnomies set. I simply inked only half the sentiment "Gnomies Forever" and hand wrote "from Your" with a black marker.

I am just loving these characters! 

By the way, want to save a little $$$? Simply enter my code "TJ10Ro" when you check out your order and you will save 10%! Remember, this code never expires!

Hope you enjoyed this action card today. 

Til next time,

Keepin' it inky!

Paint with Peace!

This card uses Faces of Diversity and Celebrate Diversity.  The verse was heat embossed.  I will  not lie and say coloring these faces was quick, but how I did it made it faster!  I did it assembly line style.   Using my Copic markers I chose a skin color and then chose faces for that skin color.  Then the next skin color, and so on.  Then I did the hair. Last was the clothing.   I found the colored the strip of paper and thought it went with the verse.   We certainly live in a diverse culture.  

I also spritzed the top with Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper!  Love this stuff!!

Please remember to use TJ10Judy when you check out to get 10% off your total order.

I hope your day is warm and wonderful, and that you get inky!!
