A Best Friend - Two Ways

Good morning, Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  I love this stamp from Technique Junkies called A Best Friend.  This is a single stamp so the flower and the sentiment are together as one stamp.  I inked this up with a permanent black ink and stamped it on white cardstock and let it dry.  Then I colored the flowers with Copic markers and brushed the edges of the white cardstock with some soft brown ink.  

If you wanted to try something different, mask off the words and stamp the flower by itself.  Then clean the stamp, mask off the flower, and stamp the words over the previously stamped flower.  That's what I did on this blue floral card below.  

If you're really brave, you could cut the two images apart, but I'm not that brave.  LOL!  By masking off one side or the other, I can retain the original stamp but have the flexibility to just stamp the flowers  or the sentiment.  I think I might need to buy another A Best Friend stamp just so I can cut it apart.  :-)

TJ Inkspiration: Shimmering Ice Ocean Card

 

Shimmer AND Texture! This card has so much subtle shimmer that is just divine when paired with the translucent texture of Aladine Ice. I've had this Ocean card swimming around in my head (please excuse my pun!) for weeks and today I played with it until it came out just right. I love the result! I created a kit for you so you can save a little money if you are interested. The kit may be found HERE.* *Due to a variety of reasons there are a very small quantity of kits available right now.

At the River #techniquejunkies

 Hello! Tracy Shultz, the Hopeful Crafter, here today with a card featuring the new Technique Junkies "At the River" stamp: https://techniquejunkies.com/at-the-river/ and the Thank You sentiment from the previously "Four Little Sentiments" stamps: https://techniquejunkies.com/four-little-sentiments/   Save 10% off your Technique Junkies order using my code: TJ10Tracy

To create my card,  I stamped the image with Catherine Pooler Midnight ink. I then colored the image using Zig Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I trimmed the image using scissors. I cut a piece of turquoise cardstock to 4" x 5.25" and stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I heat embossed the sentiment using clear embossing powder. I embossed the cardstock using an waves embossing folder from my stash. I adhered the image using foam tape and then added a few clear gems. I adhered the panel to a navy blue card base size 4.25" x 5.5"

Blood Pressure

  Hi!

If you follow my blog at all, you know I love summer.  I love everything about it, but my absolute favorite thing is listen to the waves crash into the beach.  I'm so lucky to live near the water.   

To create this card, I did a little stamp surgery to cut the sentiment away from the starfish/seaweed.  I used the omitting technique to create a multi colored starfish to compliment my sentiment.  I love the pop of orange with the bright blue
