TJ Layered Portions: Happy Memorial Day

a happy Memorial day!

and Layered Portions technique rom the

April/May 2014 newsletter of the

Technique Junkies.

Have a creative day!

Coffee on Saturday

My card for today is inspired by Heidi's Thursday

technique card. It is a technique by the 

Technique Junkies called distressed colorblocking

(newsletter Feb 2011)

I used:

Michael Strong's large coffee stamp

3 colors of distress ink

(dried marigold, gathered twigs and frayed burlap)

a digital sentiment by Create with TLC

(it is still a freebie today!!)

Use the colors of inkpad directly to your

acrylic block to stamp the background.

Dry well before stamping the coffee cup

(I used my heat gun). 

The coffee cup is

stamped with versamark and embossed with

orient express powder on the dark brown card 

and with black embossing powder on the 

white card.

On this card i added a peace of ribbon that I

got as apresent, so not sure where it came from.

The back of my card is stamped with a

stamp that was especially made for me by Joanne

Have a creative day!

TJ Blocked Background

Are you a member of Technique Junkies?

If so you received the latest Newsletter in the mail

this past week with fu  new techniques.

As a designer I have to do certain techniques for

the newsletter, but when it comes I love to try all the

other techniques as well.

This technique is called "Blocked backgrounds"

and I really like doing it. So I made these two cards.

The first card is made with a swan stamp by Art Neko

and a sentiment by Michael Strong.

Here a close up of the colored part of the card.

If you click on the photo you see a larger version.

I colored with distress markers.

The second card is made with Club Scrap papers

and stamps. The sentiment is a sticker that

came with one of the old kits called Ferris Wheel.

The stamp is from the 2009 Henna Kit.

Also here a close up of the colored part.

I added a sticky gemstone in the middle of the flower.

Here I also colored with distress markers. 

Can't wait to get some of the new colors.

If you are not a member of Technique  Junkies, you should

hop over and take a look and try the free tutorials

that are available.

Have a creative day!
