Thinking of You

Today I have a new card showcasing our monthly technique at Technique Time Tuesday

 

We have been playing around with the Shaving Cream Technique

 

What a lot of FUN! 

It's been years since I made a card using this technique for my background

I hope you will give it a try and make sure to check out the TUTORIAL on the blog

As well as the rest of the Design Team wonderful creations for some inspiration

 

Here's my card...

 

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink re-inkers in the following colors:

Worn Lipstick

Dusty Concord

Broken China

 

I started with a White A2 card with teal CS layered on top

I trimmed my Shaving Cream paper into a 2" x 5" panel

Added sentiment using black ink on a white oval shape

Which was cut from my Cricut cartridge - George and Basic Shapes

 

To finish the card:  

3 teal flowers with Basic Grey Candy Buttons in the center

And a Pink ribbon bow at the fold

 

Thanks for stopping by today...

I hope you will play along this month and show us your Shaving Cream creations

Hello - Sketch #109 for TSOT

Good Morning and welcome to my blog and another sketch challenge for Try Stampin' on Tuesday

 

Today we are sharing Design Team inspiration for sketch #109

 

 

One reason I started blogging was to clean out supplies in my stash.

I still can't resist buying new items, but I try really hard to use what I have on hand.

So this week, that is what I did...

My card is made from bits and paper from a scrapbook kit I have had for a while.

Basic Grey - Kioshi - page kit

 

 

I cut some of the page paper to make a green A2 card

I then trimmed down one of the coordinating pattern papers to layer on top

Cut a 3" circle and a 3/4" x 2" strip from a blue piece of paper in the kit

Stamped the HELLO in black ink onto the 3/4" x 2" strip

The little bird is a punch out element, which I added black doodle lines around the edge of the image

The two flowers and leaves are chipboard stickers

Finished with a light blue ribbon, black adhesive rhinestones for bird eye and centers of flower

Added white adhesive pearls at the bottom right and top left edge

 

Simple, fast and easy... I hope you like my take on the sketch this week.

Now it's your turn, check out the rest of the Design Teams inspiration and be inspired!

 

I hope you will find time to join us this week.  I looking forward to seeing what you create.
