Caught in Crystal

First Tuesday of the month brings a new technique to try from Technique Time Tuesday

 

CAUGHT IN CRYSTAL

 

I have never tried this technique before, so I was  excited to create my card

I have to say I was a little stressed, as I only have 3 Distress re-inkers and NO Stazon ink

So I had to be extra clever with my creation
I just bought a new car and couldn't justify buying more product, you know how that is!

 

Here's my card...

 

 

After several attempts to stamp the image onto the acetate/transparency,

I ended up stamping my image, which is a really old CTMH stamp from the Floral Thank You set

This is a set from way, way back, wood mounted

Anyway, I inked it with black Versa Craft ink onto my card stock

I then put it into my copier and copied the image onto the transparency

What's a Girl to do? I was running out of time and stressing BIG TIME!

 

I followed the wonderful tutorial Mynnette has provided for us on the blog - CHECK IT OUT

 

I gathered all my supplies and went to work...

I used Distress ink - Worn Lipstick, which I think is actually too dark with my papers

However, I really think the technique was FUN to try and I liked the look of the finished square

Again, just too dark with the papers

 

It is what it is... and I will give it a try again

 

My papers are from Echo Park - la Ballet du Grand - mini kit

pink Washi tape and rhinestones finished the card

 

I ended up with really messy hands even though I used the plastic baggie idea Mynnette suggested

 

I invite you to try your hand at the CAUGHT IN CRYSTAL technique this month

I can't wait to see what you make and share with us

 

Thanks for coming by and taking a peek
