August Sketch and Blog Hop!

Hi! Welcome to the final stop of the August 2010 Technique Junkie Newsletter Blog Hop. I hope you arrived here from Chris Dickinson's blog (and I hope her gorgeous Zig-Zag Accordion Card Inspired you!) , but if you didn't, take a minute or two to join us at the beginning of the Hop on the TJ Design Team Blog HERE. You won't want to miss all of the stunning artwork the designers have in store for you!

My card on the final leg of this stop uses the sketch from the August issue, of course. I used the Pencil and Ink Technique (also from the August Newsletter)  for the top panel. I also used the Soft and Sparkly Technique in the middle of the flower on the front of the panel, too! I love how soft, pretty and feminine this card turned out! The Background with the Pencil and Ink uses the Engraved Flower stamp from Alluring Impressions. I think it is one of the most versatile backgrounds I have in my stamp studio! All of the other stamps are from Stampin' Up!.

Okay, now are you ready to try the design? If you do, I will enter your name in a drawing for the following:
 This Package includes:
  • Two Rachelle Anne Miller Stamps, a collection of colored brads and matching Prima flowers courtesy of Beth Norman and Sunflowers and Dragonflies;
  • The Art Parts Stamp Set from Stamper's Anonymouse by Wendy Vecchio Courtesy of Croppinsville;
  • The Forest Life Stamp Set from Two Nancys Art Stamps; and
  • The Artsy Mini Book Shape Series - Circle  from Innovative Stamp Creations.
PLUS the winner will be featured from September 15th through October 1st on the Technique Junkie Newsletter Artwork-Only home Yahoo home page!
To enter, simply email your submission to me at phuntoon@optonline.net.  You do need to be a Techique Junkie to enter, and you need to use ONE technique on your submission to be eligible. Submit your entry by September 14th.

Thanks for playing -- I can't wait to see your interpretation of the sketch!
 



Weekly Giveaway: Sunflowers and Dragonflies

Isn't this stamp set by Rachelle Ann Miller for Stampavie just the cutest? Today's giveaway includes the stamp shown here, and several other goodies shown below. All of this is compliments of Sunflowers and Dragonflies, today's sponsoring company. Does the name sound familiar? That is because it is owned by TJ Team Member Beth Norman!

To show off this adorable "Lily and Milo" stamp, I colored them with Copic Markers and layered them over a Glued Pastels Background (August 2009 Technique Junkie Newsletter).The flowers on the side are also part of today's giveaway!
In addition to the card, one lucky winner will receive the package shown above, which includes the stamp, a package of Prima Essentials 4 Flowers, and a 6-pack of painted brads by Basic Grey. It truly is a fun package! Beth is also offering a 15% discount on orders from the Sunflowers and Dragonflies store for Technique Junkies. When you order, leave Beth a note that you are a TJ member; your discount will show up on the billing under the shipping area.

The winner will be selected on Monday morning. Make sure that you leave enough information so that I can contact you to let you know you won. Just a reminder that Blogger does NOT leave me your email address. A great way to do this is to leave your email address in a spelled-out way, such as "p huntoon at optonline dot net."
