From The Funny Farm....

Greetings from the funny farm! Today, I'm sharing a project featuring the Alcohol Ink Press (04/07) and Cuttlebug Highlight (10/08) techniques. Both are great techniques and sure to add that right amount of interesting! This stamp sheet from Artistic Outpost has multiple images perfect for the Alcohol Ink Press technique, but I chose this one....mostly because I say this same thing once or twice a day! See my funny farm here.

Modern Grid

Here is my first contribution to the Technique Junkies Design Blog. I choose to do an old technique.

The Modern Grid is from the April/May Newsletter in 2007 and this technique was a real hit. I forgot all about how wonderful this is. It is easy to do it with any stamp you have (bold or fine). I used Michael Strongs mini stamps. In the middle of the flower I added a glitter gemstone. Happy stamping!

Feathered Mo!

What by chance is a feathered Mo? Well.......here is a card that uses THE most adorable image from Mo's Digital Pencil. It is called End of Summer. The minute I saw it I KNEW I NEEDED it!! I spent quite a bit of time coloring it in with my copics. I really wanted to do it justice! I hope you like the little hint of circles on her shirt! BUT for the light yellow background, I hadn't worked on it before the rest of the image and didn't want to mess it up so I did it with my prismacolor pencils/gamsol. Now you know the Mo part of the title.......the feathered part of the title is the background she sits on. It is called Feathered Tie Dye and is a technique from the December 08 newsletter. When that technique came out I made a TON. It was such a fun thing to do that I just couldn't stop. Now, I have wads of the paper in my stash and it just worked wonderful for this image. The small words (which I have no idea where they came from) were stamped on white but I colored it with air brushed copics. I hope you enjoy this image and want to try the technique for yourself. You'll go crazy just like I did!!

Fossil Stone

I love this technique! It can be made with soft colors or with bright ones, but I prefer the soft ones, such as SU's Bashful Blue and Mellow Moss, which I used for this one.   The technique is found in the April 2006 newsletter.    Stamp:  "Iluminata" by Inkadinkado.....inked for the first time for this card (4 1/4x 5 1/2 inches).      Evelyn Spikes
