Hello!

Like all of you I like to have some spare cards just in case.... I'm never empty handed if an occasion arrives and it also gives the opportunity to try some techniques that I've never done before... Here are some of my latest cards.....

I love this technique... !

IS THIS HOME Background is from Technique Junkies' tutorial " Cling and Scrunch " done with water colors spray. Stamps "french phrases" and "Quietfire flourish" in brown. Vintage image, phrases done on my comptuter attached with gold eyelets, add a golden heart and a little peel off and you have "Is this home"!

HAPPY Adirondack inks applied with Ink blender, stamp from Tim Holtz and diamond stamp applied randomly in meadow... Paper flower border inked same as background. Color matching paper flowers. Doesn't she look "Happy"....? Now sending to my partner, I just hope they are as "Happy" when mail comes in!!!

Butterfly wishes...

I love stamping butterflies... this card is a friend's birthday card. Stamp is Magenta and I used the poucing tech to add color to it. I finished it with a spray of Bronze Shimmering Mist.

Having fun with Alcohol inks...

Hello my friends!

I recently participated in a workshop given by Magenta! Nathalie Métivier demonstrated a few techniques to work with alcohol inks.... I was already in love with those little bottles....so I spent some time playing!

I went along with tip and tricks from Nathalie and tried my own mixtures...!

Seersucker exchange finished.

Hello my dear reader. I just finished another exchange I subscribed to. This one was very particular for me since it was the first time I did this effect... it's called " Seersucker technique" and it fun and easy to do. The seersucker effect is done by running you final design through your crimpler horizontally and vertically... for a change the one named Leaves I did the oblique way which creates a crooked illusion ... but it's just an illusion....!!!

LEAVES

The background of this card was done with Mica Magic re-inkers... I love working with these. I added bead to the side of the card to add a little something different!

Hidden words

Hidden Words was done with the Rainbow ink pad and brayered, stamped and inserted to punched card stock... Square brads complete the design.

We wish you....

This image was initially done as an experiment of inking with rainbow pad and brayer... it turned out pretty nice ... I added some Mica Magic to the surface of the design to pull out area that had no ink on since I stamped before inking... !

This whole Seersucker project was a lots of fun and I hope my partners will be pleased with their card. I have learned that it's not all image that can be used with this technique... and it's always fun to learn something new!
