Feather Blending



I created this card for a friend for Valentines. It uses the technique mono dies from the latest technique junkies newsletter (see the blinkie on the sidebar). It also uses the wispy frames from this issue. The stamp is from Clear Dollar. The copic colouring is a feather blending technique for the copic challenge blog (on the flower) Thanks for looking in!

Valentines by the dozens


I created a bunch of ATC's today for my sons JK Valentines party on Wednesday. I coloured the images with copics, Used the wisped frames technique on a few, the mono dies tech on one (both techniques from the latest TJ newsletter,see my sidebar for a link). The stamps are Penny Black and Clear Dollar. Glitter from the dollar store, embossing from CTMH. TOO MUCH fun and Ben glittered everything!

Hey There Mr Snowman.....



Hey Mr Snowman, bring me some snow......
Our snow has been melting with our January thaw and I hate to see it cold without snow in February. I created this 'man stamped in Ocean Blue and coloured with W1 and BG10. The clouds are compliments of Mel (MelStampz) I was playing with her lovely techniques and ended up with this card. So the snow is acrylic paint on the BG paper and a Background Stamp stamped into the paint. I then stitched snowdrifts in.
The clouds are white embossed background stamp on water colour paper and stitched with the same embroidery thread around the edges. Mr Snowmans scarf has a beaded fringe, which I borrowed from Mel as well Love you Mel, keep it up, teeheee. The snowy swirls are all glittered too. The picture cannot do justice to the card :(

BlueBird


This little guy was coloured for last weeks Copic Junkies Challenge, but I forgot to upload him :(. I used BG01 and 09 along with YG 23 and 21 and a splash of R46 and YR04 and 06. Isn't he charming? He was a freebie from Dustin Pike. He is printed on text weight Curious Iridescent Paper. The BAckground.....Now I need to show MelMcCarthy my messed up background :)I attempted a Mel Stampz technique that went delightfully wrong. More on that later. Now I have to go to work :(

Searching.....


I coloured this image a month or so ago and never got it to a card until the other day. The image is a Mo Manning digi and the technique behind it is called Brown Bagging from the last technique junkies newsletter. I love this tech. and flipped for Mo's images, what talent!

Clothesline...runaway snowman ;-)


I had fun with this. It was done for the stamping boutique how do you show snow challenge, but never finished in time. I adhered it to a box I painted and filled with stamping stuff for my sister. Coloured with copics and I hope you can see the stickles and glitter on the card.

I loved the ornament a fellow TJ'er made, so chased the links to find directions to make my own. You can see Kathys's here and the directions arefound here. If you scan through the post you will find them. The post previous to this shows another ornament
as well. Try it, it's easier than you think ;^) Ummm, I should have rotated that photo,lol
