Another Embossed Puzzle card by Judy Jackson

This is another Mono-Chromatic color scheme for this technique. I like the fact that you can use bright colors, pastel colors, and mono-chromatic colors to achieve the look you want.   I used four shades of browns.  Stamp credits belong to Stampin' Up and Endless Creation. 

The nest and feathers are stamps on a vanilla piece of card stock.  The eggs were stamped in Brilliance ink on vellum and layered over the card stock with the nest.   I used seam binding ribbon for the bow and knot. 

Happy Creating!

Embossed Puzzle

Hello TJ friends, it's Beth Norman here with the Embossed Puzzle technique from the August issue.  Once again, I pulled out my Tombow markers and went to work on the main image.  It was so fun to coordinate the colours on the image (Magenta) with my Embossed Puzzle background.  Wasn't it nice to find a new technique involving embossing folders?  I know I was tickled.

Pulled Color by Judy Jackson - 2 cards

 

Hello from Judy Jackson.  I have done something computer wise right and am now able to post to this blog.  Both of these cards use the Pulled color technique from the August-September newsletter.   I LOVE this technique. It is simple enough but produces a WOW background in my opinion.  

The first card uses a Stampin' Up stamp and the second card (with the chair) uses a stamp from an unknown company.  I know I bought it at one of the Big Box craft stores. And since then I have done this massive unmounting of my wood mounted stamps. I evidently forgot to write down what company made this stamp.

I hope you have been doing some crafting this summer and will do more this fall! 

Happy stamping!

Gesso Off and Faux Punched Border

Thought I would try a couple of techniques I have never attempted before. The Gesso Off technique is from the August 09 issue and the Faux Punched Border technique is from this month's issue (Aug/Sept 2012). Both techniques are fun and easy. The purple dotted ribbon is much darker IRL and matches the B/G paper perfectly, Not so in the photo. Oh well, you get the idea.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Wishing you a productive and creative week!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pulled Color with Ann

Here I am......just a little late in getting my Saturday post!  Sometimes when I make a background, I think it is so pretty that I just hate to cover it up.  The Pulled Color technique ends up just like that.  So I choose something narrow to let a lot of the BG show through!  I've had this stamp set for 8 months and it hadn't seen ink yet!  Hope you enjoy!

Holly Brown: Watercolor Distress Cottage Mouse

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting, and I'm sharing this adorable Cottage Mouse card with y'all today.  I created the background by using the Watercolor Distress technique first and I let that dry completely.  Then I used the Cuttlebug Highlights technique with that piece, doing a very very subtle highlighting with a brown ink.

This adorable stamped image is from Stampavie, which can be found at Classy Cards 'n Such - a TJ vendor.  Don't forget to use the coupon code listed in the current issue when you go shopping.  :-)
