Triple Stamping with TTT

It's the first Tuesday of the month and that means a new Technique over at Technique Time Tuesday

 

Are you ready to Learn Something New?

 

Well, this months technique might not be new for all of you,

 but it is always FUN to revisit a technique from time to time

For me, it's been years since I have created a card using the TRIPLE STAMPING technique

I really love the way my card turned out...

 

 

 

 

I decided to make what I call a LONG card... which measures 3-1/2" x 8-1/2" Yellow card base

My layers for the triple stamping are:

3" x 5-1/2", 2" x 4-1/2", 1" x 3-1/2"

The black cardstock is cut 1/8" larger on all sides of all 3 pieces

I layered a piece of  black with white dots designer paper cut at  3-1/2" x 3"

 

My image is by Josephine Kimberling for Impress

I colored the image with Copic markers in the following colors:

BV13, BV31, Y11, Y15, Y17, YG41, YG63

 

To finish my card:  a yellow ribbon/bow, metal tag with sentiment and lots of adhesive pearls

 

 I hope you enjoy my card and will be inspired to join us this month

Technique Time Tuesday

 

Today is the first Tuesday of the month, which brings a new technique for you to try

 

This month at Technique Time Tuesday we are playing with a technique called...

 

Faux Silk

 

Here's my Design Team card I made using the Faux Silk technique

 

 

Both the flower image and sentiment are from Close to My Heart (old stamps from my stash)

I used White and Kraft cardstock for my card

The image was colored using my Copic markers:  BG10, BG15, BG23

I finished the card with 3 different Washi tapes

Lavender adhesive rhinestones and lavender floss

I also added a touch of glitter to the center of the flower

 

This is a close up of the flower so that you can see the texture you get with this technique

 

Make sure to check out the tutorial on the blog

I know you will be inspired by the creations the Design Teams has shared

I hope you will be able to join in and play along this month

It is always so much fun to learn a new technique and share with others

I look forward to seeing what you all come up with using the Faux Silk technique

Technique Time Tuesday - Smackin' Acetate

It's the first Tuesday of the month, which means a new technique challenge at...

 

Technique Time Tuesday

 

 

This month is my turn to host the challenge - the Technique I chose is called...

 

SMACKIN' ACETATE

Make sure to check out the TUTORIAL video on the blog,

as well as the wonderful creations by the rest of the Design Team

 

Here's my card...

 

Ink colors used are Dutch Blue, Watermelon, Hydrangea from Close to My Heart

All papers are from my stash of scraps

Stamps: from my old collection of Close to My Heart - Treasured Life D1306

 

I experimented with using glossy cardstock, which gave me more movement with the water/ink

This resulted in more coverage on the paper and a great blended look once the paper was dry

I think this technique is really fun and can give you a varied look with the type of paper you use

 

And here is a second card I made...

 

 

Ink colors used are Sunny Yellow, Sunflower, Orange from Close to My Heart

All papers are from my stash of scraps

Stamps: from my old collection of Close to My Heart - Beware D1381

 

Now it's your turn to play around with the SMACKIN' ACETATE technique

REMEMBER to watch the TUTORIAL and check out the INSPIRATION from the Design Team

Don't be afraid to try different color combinations and types of paper

Have FUN with it - I look forward to seeing what you come up with

Technique Time Tuesday

The first Tuesday of the month means a new Technique to share for Technique Time Tuesday

 

Water Stamping

I hope you enjoy my card, especially because I worked really hard
I was NOT having a good crafty weekend :(

 

I have to admit that I tried 4 times before I got my sponged background colors just right

I have some well used sponges and realized that I need to buy some new ones or a blending tool

 

I used Close to My Heart inks in the following colors:

Amethyst, Bubblegum and Sunny Yellow

To go along with this wonderful ribbon I had in my stash

 

Then I tried some more just to get the right water stamped impression

Some of the images I chose just were not making good impressions on my paper

Yeah! I FINALLY had success with this background swirl stamp I had in my drawer

 

Oh My!...You should see the mess I left on my desk! 

 

Don't be afraid to try this technique, I am HAPPY I stuck it out and got it done

 

I hope you will check out the rest of the Design Team creations over at the challenge blog

It's so much FUN to get inspired to try something new when you see the possibilities

 

I can't wait to see what you come up with
