Java Jive...

Hello, Technique Junkies Fans! It's Robin Redd, here, with you, today.

Here's a card I made with LOTS and LOTS of layers!

I used this little diddy of a stamp...

SD402 Java Jive

It's easy to get a grungy, coffee look by rubbing brown ink on the edges of each of the papers.

Thanks for coming by and taking a look!

Until next time...

This Technique Junkie stamps Oceanside - http://techniquejunkies.com/oceanside/ reminds me of what I think the Maine coast might look like. Maine is one of the few states I have never been to so I don't really know.

I colored the image with my Copic markers, sponged the sky, and stamped the verse from Road Trip - http://techniquejunkies.com/road-trip-set-of-6/, and of course mounted and layered the focal image on the base card.

Have a great day and get inky!

It takes a little Courage...

Greeting Inky Friends!!

I'm back with another card using 2 more of the August New Releases!

I used these 5 Distress Markers and scribbled all over a large 4x6 acrylic block.

I then spritzed that block with water blending the colors some and

dipping my piece of card stock onto the

acrylic block picking up the marker colors. Let dry.

I then inked up the background stamp in Cornflower Blue Archival Ink and

stamped onto my markered piece.

I stamped the sentiment and colored part of the word, layered it and popped it up with some wrapped twine behind it and I used a wooden star button that I colored with a gold pigment marker as an accent!

I love the southwest any ways so naturally was drawn to these stamps and color combinations! I can't wait to play more!

Until next time...

Happy Creating!

Perfect Pear

Kathy, The Crafty Nurse here today with more Technique Junkies inspiration using "Fanciful Fruit - Set of 2#SS057" from the August release.

The background is the result of playing with both the Minx and Art Anthology products. The Minx colors used was the white called "Immaculate" and the orange called, "Radiance".

The Art Anthology Sorbet I used was "Vegas Gold" which I ran through with a texture comb. I heat embossed the pear from "Fanciful Fruit" with Versafine Black Onyx Ink and clear powder. I also spayed this cool pear with Gilded Gold Colorations and placed the whole thing over some torn mulberry.

Sure hope you find some time to get your fingers inky today and I'll see you later on this month for more junkie goodness.

See you then!

Keep Believing

Hello fellow stampers, Beth Norman here with a fun card using the Keep Believing stamp. Isn't this sentiment so true? I really love this stamp.

I hope you're staying cool. In Ontario, Canada, we haven't seen rain in ages and the humidity is so bad. Nice excuse to stamp away in the air conditioning.

Happy stamping!
