Try That Technique Thursday - Bandanna - Aug 08

Beth is still out of pocket for this week - The Challenge will return next Thursday, Sept 7.  The tech that I did this week is Bandanna and is from the Aug 08 issue of Technique Junkies.  I didn't have a white gel pen so I used a stylus and some white acrylic paint.   All of the papers and stamps are from Club scrap.

I hope you enjoy and be sure to come back next Thursday when the challenge resumes.

Another card for today

Michael Strong did a challenge this month to use one of his Cloisonne Stamps and use a "traditional" method of making a card look like a piece of enameled work.  I used this "Pot" stamp did a Gold Embossing and then filled in with colored pencils.  For the reeds, I used my paper cutter and sliced very thin strips.  Rolled some of the strips around a skewer to get the curled look and taped to the Cuttlebug background piece. 

I hope you enjoy.....any and all comments appreciated :)

Adobe Digi Kit

I played around with the new Adobe digital kit from Club Scrap.  Last year we made a ride up to the Bandelier National Monument - up nw of Santa Fe, and I thought the pictures from that trip would look good on this awesome papers.  This is the first of a few that I hope to get done this week.
