Here’s another card using the salted background technique, but with a more masculine feel. The two-step stamping stamps work best as by using the outline image, the background is still visible. For the inside, the two-step stamping has been applied. The more solid image was stamped first, then the line image on top. You will […]

Salted Background Technique
I recently taught the Salted Background technique to my club ladies. I used Shimmery White card stock and spritzed it with water until it was quite damp. I added colour with an aqua painter in random directions using my ink pads as palettes to pick up colour. After that I sprinkled with a coarse salt […]
Chalk Talk, Gorgeous Grunge and Dictionary
I can’t believe how fast the week is speeding by and here we are – Sunday again! I shall be at an all day crop and won’t be anywhere near a computer so I’ve scheduled this rather than miss this regular slot. These were the “Thank You” cards I made for my Launch Party customers. […]

More Mosaic Madness
For my Sunday Share, here are two cards today! Punching out the mosaic shape to reveal the layer below as a feature in this card. Just trying to think outside the box. Stamp your image before embossing. I repeated the effect on a smaller piece layered onto Crisp Cantaloupe. By carefully punching out the mosaic […]
Faux Patina Stationery Box
Long story short, I tend to favour blues, but all the Mosaic Madness samples I’d made were in Pistachio Pudding. For my launch party, I was working through all the new In Color palette, and I left my favourite bundle last, and ended up with greens. After the launch, I turned my hand to making […]
