Friendship

Hello fellow stampers!  Today I have a card to share from you that uses two newly-released March stamps.  I used Tulips Background and In Full Bloom Sentiments, set of 6.  You can get these, and other stamps/products simply by using TJ10Beth.

Spring is around the corner for Southwestern Ontario, Canada, and I'm anxious to see spring tulips!

Thanks for stopping by.  Think Spring!

 

Full Bloom

I used two Technique Junkies Stamps to create this card.  I used Sketched Flowers and In Full Bloom Sentiments. 

I used the side of  dye based markers to apply ink to the Sketched Flowers rubber stamp. I first applied ink to the stems and leaves and stamped that.  Then I used shades of yellow and apllied that  to the stampand stamped that.  Using a stamp positioner tool such as the MISTI  is essential in stamping a large background stamp like this.    I added a bit of brown Nuvo glitter pen to the flower centers.

The greeting was heat embossed with detail black embossing powder.  I used my heat gun to carefully distress the bow.

Friends Are Flowers

Greetings!  I am back today with another card using the Technique Junkies new March release stamps.  For my card today I used these TJ stamps:
Dogwood JT014
In Full Bloom Sentiments Set of 6 SS105
 

On water color paper, I gold embossed the Dogwood image.  I water colored the background first, then the dogwood blossoms and branches.  

I embossed the verse from the In Full Bloom set onto the same water color paper, and attached it with foam tape for dimension.

I mounted the whole shebang onto old gold card stock, then onto a blue A2 card.  

And for the inside:

I hope you were inspired by my card today, and have been enjoying the designers' cards.  If you would like a 10% discount in the Technique Junkies store,  use my code TJ10Lynda at the checkout. 

Thanks for your comments.

Blessings, 

Dogwood Background

Hello Technique Junkies! 

It's Ceal, here to share a card with you today featuring the Dogwood Background from the March release. 

You can save an additional 10 % by using my code TJ10Ceal

To create this card I started with a neutral card base, a pink mat cut down a quarter of an inch smaller and a white panel. Using the Original Misti because I wanted to make sure I got a crisp image, I stamped the image on the paper using a black hybrid ink. I used Copic markers to color the dogwoods. For the greeting I used the Happy Easter stamp.

Pretty Pots

Have you all been enjoying the new stamps for March? I am loving all the beautiful flowers. One of my favorites from the release is Pretty Pots. Another favorite is In Full Bloom with all those great sentiments!

So I've been happily playing with the two sets and created a fun card that I can't wait to share with you!

To begin, I stamped the Pretty Pots (S808) on a piece of ivory CS using Memento Ink in Desert Sand. I trimmed down the piece, matted it with kraft CS, then attached it to a brown A2 card base. 

On another piece of ivory CS, I stamped the sentiment from In Full Bloom (SS105) using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.  I also stamped the background again (in Desert Sand) and trimmed out three of the little pots. I colored the pots then added some Flowersoft (Summer) for dimensional flowers.

Using a die, I cut out the decorative frame for the sentiment and added some foam tape to the back. Using some very awesome Glitter Gel Pens from Kaisercraft, I outlined the sentiment. The panel was then attached to the card base, and the pots attached to that with some clear dimensional tape.

Just look at the glitter and dimension on these close-ups!

I had so much fun making this card. I can't wait to come up with other projects using these stamp sets.

And, in case you didn't know, these awesome stamps are still on sale until the 8th of this month...save 15%! And you can save 10% on any other items you may want. Here are the details:

Hope you enjoyed this project. I'll see you soon!

Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!

That's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by!
