I hope you had a great holiday season! We certainly enjoyed our holidays here! We had three gatherings - two for Christmas and one for my mother's birthday! Great times with friends and family! Still have lots of left overs and cookies. LOL. I put some of the cookies in the freezer for later. Some cookies freeze really well. Okay....on to my big announcement!!!
I have accepted a spot on the Technique Junkies Design Team!!!
I am really excited about working with the Junkies in the coming year. There is a blog hop each month showcasing the new release stamps and lots of projects through out the month on the Design Junkies blog.
As you probably know, Technique Junkies has a long history of publishing their Newsletter and CD's with all kinds of fabulous technique ideas and tutorials. Pat Huntoon, the owner, also now carries a line of art stamps! Check out all the gorgeous stamps here.
To celebrate, I have made a fun card with Technique Junkies stamps. I used shades of aqua and teal. This seems to be a favorite color scheme with me lately. I also painted my bedroom in a pale aqua and made teal drapes. Looks scrumptious! I digress. Here is the card.
Materials:
Stamps: Magic Strands, Click Your Heels from Technique Junkies
CS: White, teal, and black
Ink: Peacock Feathers and Black Soot Distress Inks
Black Tulle
Fabri-tac glue
3D Zots
Make It:
- Make a card from teal CS and add a layer of black CS
- On white CS stamp the Magic Strands stamp several times with Peacock Feathers ink -dry with heat gun
- Distress with Peacock Feathers ink until all the white CS is covered
- On white CS stamp the feet with Peacock Feathers ink
- Layer with black CS
- Apply Fabri-Tac glue to the back of the stamped shoes piece and gather a piece of tulle pressing it into the glue to hold in place
- Add this piece to the card with 3D Zots
- Stamp the sentiment with Black Soot ink

First of all Karen, many congratulations on joining the Technique Junkies Design Team. The card that you've produced here is fabulus and I love the background that you've created. The sentiment works beautifully with the main focal image and the two colours of ink are just perfect together. Thank you for joining us at Fashionable Stamping Challenges, Sandra x
ReplyDeleteSorry Karen, I meant to say 'Fabulous' not fabulus :)
