Sympathy Cards

 Welcome to my Technique Junkies blog post today

using the new Worn Leaves background stamp

With this stamp I did the watercolour technique...

I rubbered my markers onto the stamp - then spritzed

with water - then stamped.

Along with the Worn Leaves stamp I used the Difficult Time set

This first card I added a few flower punches

The next card a few micro beads

This technique worked so well with this background stamp.

Drop A House

Hey Crafty Friends - 

As soon as I saw the Drop A House stamp it took me back to my childhood. First thought was the Wiz. Classic movie I watch annually at a minimum in my household. My next thought was the Broadway show Wicked as to the colors in my first card. 

To create the look on this card I did the following: 

• I stamped the Drop A House stamp in black ink on a piece of white card stock I die cut with Scrappy Boy Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die. 
• The Honeycomb Mask Stencil was laid on top of the image. I carefully used my blending brush and Black Soot Distress Oxide around the mat being mindful not to go over the image. 
• I placed the mat on top of a piece of white card stock I die cut with Scrappy Boy Stitched Scalloped Edge dies. I then adhered it to a Halloween themed patterned paper by Close to My Heart. 

• I colored the image using Spectrum Noir Tri blend markers. I decided at the last minute to stamp the house a second time. I colored the image, fussy cut it out and popped it up with 3-D foam tape to add dimension. 

• I wanted "Drop & On" to stand out! I pulled out green Stickles I had never used before. Great way to rediscover my supplies. :-) 
• To finish off the card I add a few Googly eyes. 

The second card I created a shaker card using the Drop A House and All About Halloween stamp set. 

I hope you were inspired. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting! Oh and don't forget to use my discount code on the TJ website at checkout. TJ10Shalana
