In case you missed it....here is the quick recap of the weekly posts:

07.28.2017...Embossing Paste Background Technique....

This is the final card we made in my July Techniques Card Class.

It features the You Move Me stamp set and new Textured Embossing Paste.

I used the cloud stencil to create the background with embossing paste.

Super fun card to make!

07.27.2017...More RAK love from Australia!

Gotta love RAK surprises in your mailbox....and this one came all the way from Australia!  Thanks Jessie!

07.26.2017....Tie Die Technique....

I taught this card at my July Techniques Card Class.

This is a super messy but easy technique to do and involves a coffee filter!  Who would think that a coffee filter would be used in card making!?

The colors featured in this card are Dapper Denim, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic Black....striking huh!?

If you would like to learn card making techniques like these....why not join the girls for one of my monthly card making techniques classes?  Check my blog for more info or give me a call (204) 232-7744.

07.25.2017....Happy Mail from Australia!

07.24.2017....Ombre Water-colored Background Technique

Happy Monday morning to you....and let's start the week off with me sending you some sunshine!

This is a cool card I taught in my July Techniques Card Class.  It features the Ombre Water-Colored Background Technique.

To achieve this look you use an aqua painter and four ink colors that get progressively darker.

In this sample I started with Daffodil Delight ink and just painted a line at the top of the card.

For the next line I loaded my brush with Daffodil Delight ink and then picked up some Pear Pizzazz ink.

Now I cleaned my brush and did the next stripe in Pear Pizzazz.

For the next line I loaded my brush with Pear Pizzazz ink and then picked up some Bermuda Bay Ink.

Now I cleaned my brush and did the next stripe in Bermuda Bay.

For the next line I loaded my brush with Bermuda Bay ink and then picked up some Dapper Denim.

Now I clean my brush and did the final stripe in Dapper Denim.

While I waited for my background to dry I stamped and die cut my glasses and the word sunshine.  I applied fine tip glue pen to the lenses to make them shiny...tip a thin layer dries much faster than a thick layer.
