Bubble Technique

The Bubble Technique is quite easy to do and it creates such beautiful backrounds for your projects.  Join me next Wednesday at our Creative Card Class @ 10:00 am at Sharon's Creative Studio to learn this fun technique.  We will also be using several of

 "Close to My Heart's" Thin Cuts, our special this month.

Contact me for more information.

Card Technique- Layering of Colors

This technique was shared at our Unit Meeting as I have had many requests on how to duplicate the card to your right.  Every card will turn out slightly different depending on the placement of the colors.

Stamp of the Month - Paper Gardens.

• Stamp entire stamp on paper using Flaxen Ink
• Layer inks on the acrylic stamp in this order using a dauber in each color:
• Stamp tips of flowers with Pixie Ink using dauber
• Stamp center of flowers with Cotton Candy using dauber
• Stamp base of flower with Eggplant Ink with dauber
• Stamp edges of stems and leaves with Sweet Leaf
• Huff on stamp to remoisten inks on acrylic stamp
• Stamp on paper
• Clean stamp entirely before going on to stamp another image to prevent transferring of inks to your lighter ink pads.

HAPPY CREATING!

Clearly the Best: Random Stamping (S01E17)

"Random Stamping" features a stamping technique for creating your own background paper by randomly applying 

a stamped image to a plain piece of cardstock. 

 Watch this video to find out how.

Lollydoodle/ Feathers Card

Kelly Wittner taught us this technique

 at our Unit Meeting this month. 

 We used the Lollydoodle paper packet from

 Close to My Heart for the backround and the matching inks from the kit.  Starting with the lightest color,

 we layered the colors on the stamp, then spritzed the stamp

 with water before stamping the image.  

HAPPY CREATING!

Lollydoodle Card 4

This card uses the Diaper Wipe Technique for the backround feathers.  I also used the spray pen with water, reinker and Pearl paint to create the spattered backround.

The original design came from Aaron Brown.

  I loved her card, so wanted to give it a try.  This is my version of her card.

• Lollydoodle Paper Packet (X7183B)
