ATCs for Juliet

Here are some ATCs I did from the current TJ Newsletter. I also found some that I did last year around this time.

This set is done with the Pencil Resist technique. I used prismacolor pencils with odorless turpenoid. The background is done with distress ink pads.

These are the ones I found in my stash. These are done with the Acetate Sparkle technique from the 2005 newsletter. You can really see the sparkle irl...

Christmas Cards

Plugging away at my christmas cards...here are some I did so far. This one is a magnolia stamp colored with copics. The background is from the Technique Junkies newsletter oldie but goodie from October 2002 called Acetate and Tissue. This is great because 1 sheet makes enough backgrounds for 2 cards. The snowflake stamps and rubons are from Stampin Up!

This one is a Try that Technique Top Latch card, it's a bonus technique from June 08. I used magnolia stamps, stampin up markers and stamps, spellbinders lined with stickles and Distress Ink purple for the edges.

Graffiti Birthday

I made this card for my husband's birthday from my son. My son skateboards and this was the perfect image from Mos Digital Stamps colored with copics. I used the TJ newsletter (Dec 04) called Graffiti. I thought it was perfect for my skateboarder.

Christmas Card - Brazen Brillance

I made this christmas card so I could try out the TJ newsletter "Try That Technique Thursday" brazen brillance. What a wonderfully easy technique with a great shimmer. I love this technique.

I used my spellbinders and magnolia stamp colored with copics. I used my bow easy for the bow.

Christmas Card - Background Whimsy Copic Method

Here is another christmas card where I used a snowflake stamp set from Stampin Up. I used the TJ technique from this months newsletter called Background Whimsy Copic Method. This technique is so fast and easy I will use it again and again...

The stamp image is from Magnolia. She is colored with copics. I stamped the snowflake she is sitting on with Stampin Up craft ink and embossed it with UTEE. I then airbrushed it with the same colors used on the background. I also used some stampin up snowflake rub ons in silver.

Christmas Card - Up and Over

Just trying to get a jump on some Christmas Cards...need to start some upcoming birthday cards as well.

This is the latest TJ newsletter technique up and over. It was so easy to do as always.

The house and deer are from Gina K Designs. The tree is from Stampin up. I colored the house with copics. I didn't have any gold stamp pads so I used versamark and Ranger Enchanted Gold embossing powder. I tied the ribbon with my bow easy.

Antique Wallpaper - Vintage Tilda Christmas

Here is a christmas card I made using the TJ newsletter technique antique wallpaper. I used a paper doily, I cut it in half and distressed the edges with Tim Holz vintage photo distress ink. I colored the Tilda from magnolia stamps with Copics.

I was trying to go for a Vintage looking Christmas Card like the Scandinavian Vintage cards. I will be practing a bit more with this look. Thanks for looking.

Pointillism - Tilda

I am starting to do my christmas cards. I have about 60 to do for Christmas so hopefully I will get some great techniques used and have a bunch of fun doing them instead of it feeling like a chore a month before they need to go out.

That being said I tried the Pointillism technique that Diana Enns and Beth Norman of the Technique Junkies newsletter put out there this week. It looked different and as usual...so easy!

This is a Tilda that I colored for my copics coloring class for our folds technique. I sparkled her and the background up with some stickles. All of the recent techniques I have posted also included the tried and true out of the box. I just love this technique because you can cut down your images to really show off the background...

Once again, thanks for looking and all your wonderful comments!

Background Whimsey Copic Method - Thinking of You Tilda
