Try a New Technique

I joined a card swap at Technique Junkies this month  and this is my card.  I love their monthly card swaps.  The idea of the swap is to try one of the techniques from their bi-monthly Newsletter.  I have lots to chose from since I have nearly 10 years of Newsletters.

The technique I used this month is called Embossed Colored Pencils. I love the effect the clear embossing powder gives the pencil crayon a richness and depth.

The supplies I used for this card are:

• Rose stamp by Rubber Stampede
• Butterfly from my stash
• Die from Stampin Up
• Versa Mark Pen
• Clear Embossing Powder 
• Prima Color Pencil Crayons
• Ribbon from my stash
• Corner Punch from my stash

Thank you for stopping by and have a very creative day.

Thank you for stopping by.  I made this card for a newest purchase card swap at Inky Fun Stampers this week. I love this Whimsy stamp, I think she is so sweet. The stamp is called Wyanet (Beautiful).

The feather die is by Spellbinder and the butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch.  The large feather stamp I used for the background is a old stamp I have had in my stash by Rubber Stampede.

Lets Go Shopping Challenge

Lets go shopping  is the theme of Come and Get It's challenge this week.  I do not know anyone of my girlfriends that does not like going shopping, especially for shoes and purses.  You can never have enough.  

I used a digital image by A Day for Daisies, our sponsor this week called Peacock Clutch.  I really like the design of the purse and thought I had the perfect rubber stamps to accompany it.  

I also used for this card a peacock stamp by Rubber Stampede for the background and a sentimentstamp called Purse-nally by Stampendous.  I love the sentiment, it is so cute. My purse was coloured with Copic Markers and the glitter ribbon is by American Craft. 

Come and join us at Come and Get It this week, just pop over to the challenge blog and see the other cards our design team had made to inspire you. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative week.

Inspiration - Day 2

I created this tag for day two as card captain at Michael Strong Rubber Stamps using Mike’s dragonfly rubber stamp. To make the collage tag I used several different rubber stamps and distress inks and then flicked water on the card to make the water spots and blend the ink (squirt and flick technique). The stamps I used along with the dragonfly were:

Postal Stamp by Rubber Stampede
Sentiment - Inspiration (unknown)
Cheese cloth background rubber stamp by Stampin Up

Hope you enjoyed today’s creation and have a creative day.

Double Z Fold Challenge

The technique this week at Come and Get it Challenges is the Double Z Fold.  You can find a tutorial on this technique on the Split Coast Stampers web site. 

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/newsletter/Oct052011/

I made a variation to the tutorial by adding a sleeve to close the card.  I also used the distressed ink water colour technique to colour images.  I like the watery effect of the wet distressed inks give.   I used several different stamps for the card.  The panels of butterflies are by Michael Strong Rubber stamps, the “Just for you” stamp is by Rubber Stampede, and “It’s your day” stamp is by Hero  Arts.  The flowers are part of a Hero Art stamp and cut set , my new toy that I just love.

Now it is your turn to try the double z fold card.  Come join the fun at Come and Get it challenges.  http://comeandgetitchallenges.blogspot.ca/

Have a creative day and thanks for stopping by.
