Bingo Burst - Naturally

0 comments

Some stamps are just irresistible. What I CAN resist is the commentary that I REALLY want to make about the gist of the card. I am just NOT going to say what I am thinking!
This card uses the Bingo Blast Technique from the April 2009 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I used Radiant Rain Dabbers in place of the Bingo Markers -- they shimmer! The stamps are from I Brake for Stamps.
May your day be wrinkle-free.

I have been meaning to share this card FOREVER! I made the front panel of this card as an idea for an ATC swap I was in -- then I decided to go in a different direction. The Eiffel tower is from Innovative Stamp Creations, and the words and other stamps are from the Stampsmith set in the giveaway (sign up for the giveaway on the post HERE). That is layered on a piece of Painted Mesh, which is a technique from the December 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. Those layers are on a piece of Vintage Silver Lustre from The Paper Temptress -- I have to tell you, the paper is so luxurious that I was loathe to use it! Unfortunately, it doesn't show well in the scan, but it really makes the card.

Don't forget to sign up for the giveaway!

Bonjour Mon Amis! Who wouldn't want to go to Paris in the spring?Ohh la la! I can't take you to Paris, but I CAN offer you a change at winning these magnifique Paris stamps by The Stampsmith. This huge 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of stamps will be given to one lucky winner along with the card below on Monday morning....will it be you?

The card made with this sheet of stamps features the Cuttlebug Stamps Technique from the April 2009 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I just love this technique! So EASY, and once you make the stamp, you can use it until you "tire" of it : ) The front panel, with the Arc d'Triomphe, was brayered onto white glossy cardstock, then colored lightly with chalks.

Anyone can win these stamps -- you do not need to be a newsletter subscriber. To win, simply leave me a comment on this post. let me know why you would like to go to Paris in the Spring (or why you love your Cuttlebug!). Make sure I can identify you by your post and remember that blogger does NOT send me your email address. I will pick a winner from all entries on Monday April 6th at 9 am EST.

Au Revoir!

Blogger's Challenge - texture

0 comments



This week's blogger's challenge is about texture. I am cheating a bit this week -- I made this card long ago and never used it -- but I like it nonetheless! The textured bumpy part is the Cuttlebug Smoosh technique from the October 2007 issue of the TJ Newsletter. The Chick was colored using the Marker Watercoloring technique (June 2008 TJNL).

I have created a ton this week -- but I can't show you a whit of it! Most is for the June 2009 issue -- or my column in Rubber Stamp Madness. Sorry! You will see it eventually : )

All stamps: Stampin' Up!
