Welcome to my crafting blog. After retirement, my husband and I moved to a beautiful location in the Okanagan area of British Columbia. I love all paper crafts including mixed media, journaling and cards. I also dabble in papermaking, photography, fibre art, and altered books. I am an active member of several card and mixed media groups and on the design team of several challenge blog. I love the world of blogging, it has opened many doors for me. My favourite quote is by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” I hope you join me in my search for my creative side. Thanks for stopping by!

Stain Resist Technique

Technique Junkies' had a card swap this month where you got to chose a technique from one of their magazines or Cds .  I chose the stained resist technique to make the background of this card.  I embossed my background image by Stamp Barn with white embossing powder and then used distress stains to colour the background.  

I am not sure who made the rubber stamp lady, it is from my stash of unmounted rubber stamps.  The sentiment and the little tages are a punch and stamp from Stampin Up.  I coloured my image with Copic markers, added a ribbon, and heart to complete the card.Thanks for looking.  Have a creative week.
