Prends plaisir dans la vie!

Hello my friends.

Take pleasure in life is another TJ technique called "Double Bugging" from Debbie Bankston who was the originator of this simple and special technique! I found it quite nice to do and creative to put together 2 cuttlebug embossing folders that fit well together...

Cuttlebug floders (2).

Wording from Stamping up.

Adirondac ink lettuce and Ancient Page ink Lapis Blue.

Flight of the Butterflies...

Hello

I love this card... it's a nice TJ technique called "Depth of Field" by Dee Ruger. The images are layered on the cardstock to create the illusion of depth. Bold images are necessary with this technique to achieve the proper results. The texture of the orange layer has been added with a Fiskar texture plate, unfortunately it does not show on the scan!

Ink used: Sail boat blue, Sunset orange, Antique Pewter.

Stamps:butterfly from Indadinkado, wording unknown :-(

It would of been better to have a lighter grey but I went with what I had...!

Our latest family addition....

Has a mom and a Mamie I cannot keep this secret... LOL! My baby daughter Véronique (35) gave birth to the most beautiful little girl... (of course she is beautiful she is ours!!!).

ANABEL was born in Montréal on Wednesday June 10 at 9:59 and she weighted 8 pounds 14 onces...! For a first one it was not easy!

So I'm proud to present who is one day old on this picture. I now have one more little sunshine!

Masking Technique.

This one is super and gives amazing results. It requires a little patience but it's worth it and who doesn't have patience when it comes to your art???

Clear Coat Collage

Hello...

I love doing art cards on the week end!

Here are 2 of my latest one. The technique use is "Clear Coat Collage" from Technique Junkie and it is very interesting to do!

DREAMS

BOATS

The yellow layer of Dreams and the green layer of Boats have been embossed with Fiskar texture plates... I find it deceiving that it does not show :-(!!!!

ATCs...

It's been a while since I've done ATC... when I think how many I did and all the groups I used to belong to, it's weird how we change... but needless to say that I still love doing those little pieces of art. A 2½ X 3½ working surface can be very challenging!!!

These have all been done with Tim Holtz's stamps. The technique I used is one I love very much Reinker Splash (2-08) of Technique Junkie with some little additions... like peal X and ink dabbing.

More car and truck!

Hello my friends As part of the mingle I mentionned below I made the 2 other cards.
