Using Tangerine Tango

June 10, 2009 in
The current Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalogue retires at the end of June. For the next while I'll be trying to use up my stash - therefore you might be seeing a lot of the Tangerine Tango. It's not a colour I have used much of at all!

Make sure that you get hold of the Last Chance List. Check out the links on the left side of the screen at the top. These stamps and Decor Elements are disappearing the end of June, this is your last chance to get your hands on them!

Supplies
Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, All Holidays
Ink: Handsome Hunter, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss
Paper: Whisper White, Handsome Hunter, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss
Accessories: Whisper White taffeta ribbon, blender pens, Stampin' Dimensionals

I'm posting a card I received on Friday from a Birthday Angel from Splitcoaststampers Demonstrator Secret Sisters. I love this set! Thanks for a beautiful card broncomom/Joyce!

And another surprise yesterday from my parents - a Sizzix Big Shot! I had so much fun going over the Stampin' Up! catalogue picking out what I wanted for dies. The bad news is that I have to wait for it to arrive:( But I do have some sneak peak items due to arrive this Wednesday and Thursday to keep me company until the Big Shot can get here.
Now off to enjoy some Dairy Queen ice cream cake! Have a great day! ~A

A Baby Card

May 21, 2009 in
This is my second attempt at the emerging colour technique (check out my journal cover here)and another card over here. It's a great technique, I used Whisper White card stock but you could use designer series paper or perhaps a different colour other than white. Stamp on your base colour, let it dry then pass your embossing buddy over the whole piece and then stamp in versamark your images where you want your colour to emerge! Next clear emboss those versamarked images and once cooled coat the whole piece in a darker colour. Viola!

Stamps: Nursery Necessities
Ink: Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette, Almost Amethyst, Versamark
Paper: Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Accessories: Button Bouquet, glue dot, sponge dauber, clear embossing powder, embossing buddy
card purseThese are so easy to make! I've made three of these now and they will make great gifts! Check out my other Card Purse from my March Class to see those cards. The next 2 cards complete the set, along with these 2 cards I posted last week. And isn't the center piece of the purse darling? I used my new Watercolour wonder crayons to colour directly onto the stamp and them spritz lightly with water and then stamped on watercolour paper. It took a bit of experimenting to get the right amount of water, but it's a really cool effect!
