Bouncing Brayer with Baby Bear


This was the last of my Technique cards for this month's class.

 The Baby Bear set is a real cutie! It's a Three-step stamp set. I stamped the base Bear in Sahara Sand ink. The second layer was stamped using Crumb Cake, but stamped 'off' first and the final layer was stamped using the full Crumb Cake ink. 

 The bow is Two-step with the base layer stamped using So Saffron and the top layer with Crushed Curry.

I used both So Saffron and Soft Sky ink for the Technique. I started with So Saffron and inked up the Brayer before 'bouncing' it along the length of the white cardstock. After cleaning the Brayer, I repeated using Soft Sky. I love that where you get the overlap in colours it comes through light green :o)

 Once I was happy with the effect, I cut out the heart using the largest of the Sweet & Sassy framelits.

Floral Frame with Bloomin' Love


I love the combination of colours used on this card - Bermuda Bay and Sweet Sugarplum together with a little Wild Wasabi.

 This was another of my Technique cards for this month's class. The Technique was how to create a stamped floral frame.

 It's another simple technique. All you have to do is lightly draw around your chosen framelit with a pencil. I used the largest of the Oval Layering framelits. You can use any shape though, circles, squares and hearts all work well too. You then stamp all over and around the pencil line with your chosen floral image(s). Once the ink is dry, you can erase the pencil line.


The Butterfly is from Floral Wings. The top layer was cut from Vellum.

Sitting Here with Sheltering Tree


This was one of the cards I included in my Monthly Technique Class last week.

 Sitting Here is a beautiful stamp set and this was my first time using it.

 The Technique used is on the cushions. It's just to add more dimension to them so they are not flat. All you have to do to achieve this is turn the image over and place it onto a Piercing mat and then run your embossing stylus around the edges. This will cause the edges to raise up, so when you turn the image back over it has more shape to it. Stampin' Dimensionals were then used to position the cushions onto the seat.

 I coloured the images using an Aqua Painter and the ink pads - all the new In Colours were used :o)

 The tree foliage and the grass images came from the Sheltering Tree stamp set.


The background was lightly sponged using Soft Sky and Pear Pizzazz ink.
