MMSC #99

I used the Technique Junkies "Scored Diamonds for the challenge at Midnight Madness this week. This technique was a bit of a challenge. You stamp the background and the score an 8 1/2 x 11 piece at every 1/2 inch. You then cut your squares and layer on the stamped piece. I sort of put together a lot of different blues, but it seemed to work

Do You Stack Up #14

The challenge at Do you Stack Up was to follow the yellow Brick Road. I needed a bag for my confirmation present for my niece. So here is my yellow. I decided a cross would work for the center of my flowers. I just kept stamping the cross in the background until the ink ran out and then reinked. I also gave some texture to the flowers with a stylus.

MMSC #98

I need a confirmation card for my neice. I used the sketch from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. This beautiful stamp is made by Paper Inspirations. I never use this stamp much because I just could not get a good image. I now know the trick. I used The Position it board. I stamped the image in a light tan, and then again in a a color several shades darker. I colored the image while still positioned on the board. I then kept stamping with the darker color until it looked like I wanted it to.

baby gift

This past week end I was at a local stamp store that also has gifts and saw a line of baby gifts that was adorable. They had made cupcakes out of onezies. This is my take on it. I made the bottom box --could have been a bit smaller. I cut strips and stamped and crimped the strips and then glued them in a circle. I then folded the onezie and fit it in the circle. I cut two shapes with a slice to put on the onzies that didn't have a design stitched on it.

Baby Card

This is a baby card for my son-in-law's sister. The fancy fold came from a friend in one of my Yahoo groups. The fold is so awsome, but I wish I would have had a little thinner paper. The stamps are Clear stamps that I had from The Paper Studio.

Delft Tile

The card uses the Delft Tile technique. I love the look, but did forget to add the gray marker for more highlights. Background stamp is from Stampin' Up. The teapot and doily are from Gina K Designs.

Watercolor over White

This technique was the Try it Thursday Challenge for Technique Junkies last week. The stamp I used for the background is from Rubbernecker. I stamped the image in white, colored it in places with watercolor pencils, used a blending pen to smooth out the coloring and added some gold highlight with a gel pen. I stamped the same design on the tag with a light color and added the sentiment.
