Joint Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joint Blog Hop!

Three Fabulous Companies have come together to bring you this Hop.

Technique Junkie Newsletter, eclectic Paperie and Sweet "n Sassy Stamps. All the participants will be making a project from the TJ CD Great Gifts. For my project I have chosed the

Pencil Bouquet Box.



I hope that you can see all the detail in all of the photos. As it is a box, I wanted to show you all sides. Also, as you can see, I used Bic pens in place of pencils. There are so many wonderful techniques on the Great Gifts CD, it was dificult to decide on one to showcase for this blog hop.

The products I used for this technique are as follows:
From Sweet "n Sassy Stamps I used the Together Silhouettes clear stamp set. It's a charmer isn't it?
From eclectic Paperie I used; Lily Bee- Persnickty paper line, Canvas tags, butcher's twine, buttons and woven flower from Maya Road.

Remember to leave a comment at each blog to be eligible to win the prizes that are listed below. There are direct links for the companies' blogs and the next stop after mine too!  When you get  to the company blogs they will have direct links to their DT members. Good luck and have fun!

Colorwash Alcohol WOW!

 

This technique from TJ's is so much fun. Mostly because it is different every time and the results are surprisingly beautiful! You can see what I mean if you look at the two layers, both done with the Colorwash Alcohol technique. The layer with the blue, and the main background layer are so different, but done the same way, with different inks of course. You can find this technique in the August/ September issue of the Technique Junkie Newssletter. If you haven't subscribed yet, you can do it here:

Thanks for stopping by. Leave some love in the form of a comment.

 

See you again soon,

Color Blocking with a twist

Hello, I am so pleased that you stopped by. This card uses the color blocking technique with a bit of a twist to it. Instead of the traditional technique, I used different shaped solid stamps to create the color block background. It's a very colorful and cheerful card IRL.

The stamps I used are Club Stamp (sentiment) and the Asian inspired tree is from I Love Rubber Stamps.

I have been neglecting my blog and I hope to be posting on a regular  basis. I live in hope, LOL!

ENJOY!

Technique Strips

I was able to put this card together in no time at all because I have all of my technique scraps in one box. As you know...we NEVER throw anything out, so keeping all the scraps comes in really handy. I keep all of my technique scraps in a photo box all their own labeled "Backgrounds" which couldn't have made this card any easier. 

I hope this card inspires you to give it a try, and I thank you so much for visiting. Please come back real soon!
