Check The Technic

I love the Herringbone Technique from the December 2009 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. It uses up scraps, it always impresses people, and it is just plain EASY! Kudos to Club Scrap for allowing me to use their technique in the newsletter.

My Herringbone piece also uses some scraps from some April 2010 technique pieces. The green strips are sparkly pieces of Glimmer Mist Watercolors, and the peachy-orange strips are pieces of leftover Washed Colors.  Gotta love leftovers.

Still lovin' this funky monkey from DRS Designs, too!

You are probably thinking to yourself: "Why would anyone ever buy those stamps?"

Well, let me tell you -- I would. I did. After all, I came from a house with 6 kids. Do you think we EVER sang a normal happy birthday song? NO WAY. We would ONLY sing it the "monkey" way. That is why I bought this stamp at a stamp show from DRS Designs. How could I resist? I swore a long time ago that my brother, who is 3 years older than me, would never get a "normal" birthday card again.This is for one of my nieces, though -- she will get a kick out of if, I think!

 

I used the Washed Colors Technique from the April 2010 issue of the TJ Newsletter for my background. My monkey was colored with Copic Markers. What a fun card this was to make!  Thanks for stopping by today...
