Hello Hetty here with a card

for the Summer! The bckground of this card is done in the

technique of the week, that you can in the June/July 2014

Newsletter called Splattered Ombre Watercolors.

For this card I used Club Scrap Picnic papers and

UM stamps.

This card is a gate fold card and above you

see the inside of the card

where I used some left over piece of 

the technique background.

Here a close up of the right panel fro the

front of the card.

Today there is a big blog hop from

Cub Scrap with lotsof fun projects

using this Picnic kit.

You might want to take a look for

Broken Borders

 

 

 



From the August/September 2012 newsletter.

The colors are a bit distorted in the scan but you get the idea.

These cards are really fun, fast and easy Suitable for any occasion.

The verse is from Hero Arts and the Flourish is from Magenta. The punch is from Fiskars. I enjoy going back to the older newsletters and picking a random technique. I always feel like I am visiting an old friend. Why don't you give it a try?

 

See you back here soon!

TOTW - Sponged Ombre Watercoloring

Hi Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks "Technique of the Week"!  I couldn't wait to color up this fantastic Saturated Canary stamp with my copics.

I used the Sponged Ombre Watercoloring technique on both the background of the Eiffel Tower and on the blue & purple background.  I resurrected my neglected Quickutz alphabet and die cuts.  I forgot how much I love them.  I also used the out of the nestie box technique (always a favorite). 

This is such an easy technique, we would love for you to join us this week to see what you come up with.  I love all the inspiration from this group!

Stamps:  Saturated Canary, Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous, Stampabilities, Gina K Design (sentiment), Make it crafty (Eiffel Tower)

TOTW - Graidant Sponging

I needed a sympathy card and decided this technique would do nicely.  I used distress inks for the sponging.  I think I need to clean my scanner...LOL.

The stamp is from Stampin Up!

Won't you play along with us?

Thanks for stopping by...and have a crafty day!

Gradient Sponging

Hello. Beth Norman here with this week's Technique of the Week.

 How is your week going so far?  Finally we're having nicer weather and with that my mojo seems to have come back.  I had so much fun creating a morphed Gradient Sponging.  I took creative liberty in layering the gradient sponging as you can see.  

My background was created by stamping and heat embossing, then sponging ink over the background.  

Thank you for dropping by!

Stamps:  Impression Obsession and Inkadinkado

InkaGold Stamping by Judy Jackson

 Every now and then a new product comes along and you don't know how to use or what it could be used for in stamping.   I saw this Inka Gold in several colors at a rubber stamp convention in Westminster, MD.  I saw it demonstrated, and decided I had to have some of this. I bought a couple of jars and because I was out of money, I came home and did a search on the Internet for this product.  I found it even with free shipping!  I bought it even before I knew exactly how it could be used.  But it was so bright and shimmery I was sure it could be used somehow!

And doesn't this technique use it beautifully?  It is not what I saw demonstrated at all and I like this technique better.

The butterfly card uses stamps from Heather's Stamping Haven and Stampers Anonymous.  I painted the open areas with Smooch paints.  The peacock feather card uses an Inkadinkadoo stamp and the verse is from Technique Junkie stamps (http://www.stampcamp.com/wordsandsayings2.html) .

Do you have any of this wonderful creamy Inka Gold yet?  It is luscious to work with!  Have an inky day and get your fingers a bit messy!
