Here it is...
I love this Hero Arts stamp and I know you have seen it here recently! So I smeared my Tim Holtz inks on the back side of my Scor-Mat and then spritzed it with water! After clear embossing the image on my card, I rubed the front of the image onto the mat! Instant colored bacground! I learned it from a HA video awhile back! See? I am learning! And reaching out of my CAS comfort zone! LOL!
So I stamped a little text and added a little denim and trim and then some Prisma blue pencil centers to my flowers (not sure how I feel about my coloring there!).
Do you like my potato masher photo holder? I have used it before here but its been awhile! My friend made it for me! It's a really fun recipe holder but I had to throw it in here again!
Well this it is for me for a couple days! I am off to a super crafty weekend in Topeka/KC with my friends Jen, Amy, Eva and Barb! AND I am super excited to get to have dinner with Jinny!! YEAH!! Jinny can't wait to meet you IRL!! I will be back with pics! :)
And yes I have changed my blog picture like 10 times but I am having so much fun with the Instagram app on my phone! The way it makes the pics look retro is too fun! I went back and edited a couple pics of me that were not my favorite and gave them awhole different look! :)
Everybody have a great day!
Gorgeous card Laurie... you did the 'techniquey' thing very well :) Have fun on your crafty weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis card is cute! I need me some more ink colours to try this technique with - it looks so effective!
ReplyDeleteAnd your accent colouring of the flower centres really works ;)
Have a great crafty time with your chums, hugs, Ruth S
I like your techniquey. It produced a masterpiece. Techniquey is a word. I has to be. I just know it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful techniquiness! You rocked this card, Laurie. And I LOVE the masher!
ReplyDeleteBetter watch out...we'll call you a "Techiquey" master...love what you did with your card...have a blast on your weekend...I'm jealous!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it! I am not a technique person either because it's too messy and/or time consuming and I'm impatient. LOL I really like this technique though and may try it for my Mom's birthday card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - love this technique - I tried it once and didn't like my end result - will have to try again.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, WOW! Loving this gorgeous stamped image. It is so, well, techniquey! And before I even read your comment about the Prisma coloring, I thought to myself how cool the flower centers looked. It adds just the right contrast.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I'm totally jealous that you're having a stamping getaway with such amazing ladies this weekend! Hope you gals have lots of fun!
Absolutely stunning! LOVE this look! Yummy! And woohoo... only two more days! Can't wait to meet you either! Have a good one!
