SAF 2013 Sprinkle of Salt

I needed to use some of this weekend to make the "back to school" cards for my kids teachers... this ended up being a great challenge to accomplish that task! I was surprised how easy it was and unusual the results.  Nicole was right, my kids will love this technique :).

MIM: Colored Kissing

I haven't done a PTI Make it Monday in forever! This is colored kissing. Here's the video tutorial. I used Fine Linen and the old Smokey Shadow ink. Aqua Mist card stock and the rest is Fine Linen. Iconic Images and BB: Newsprint for the stamps and MS: 1 collection for the sentiment. Love how it turned out!

Enjoy!

Clean and Simple Day 5

Today's class lesson was using techniques: watercoloring with Distress Inks.  I used PTI Iconic Images and Healing Touch Sentiments. I used clear embossing powder on regular cardstock (the Walmart brand)... I'm assuming watercolor paper would have made a more finished product.  Overall, it's a neat look.

Enjoy!

Laurie-Our Gallery Idol Blog Hog

Welcome!! If you are joining in the Blog Hop today you should be coming from Christy's blog. If you'd like to start at the beginning, please go to our PTI PaperDolls Blog where LeeAnne posted ALL the details! :)

One of our PaperDolls made it ALL the way into the TOP 10 of the PaperCrafts Connection Blog Gallery Idol competition!!  We are SO proud of her and want to celebrate her success!

Laurie, is truly a CAS (Clean & Sophisticated) *Queen* Stamper if there ever was one... and I love her style! I was happy to jump on the bandwagon to do this for her. And, I knew immediately which card I would CASE in her honor.

I remember seeing THIS card the first time and thinking... WOW, that is beautiful, genius, and I MUST have that stamp set!! There aren't a lot of stampers who can really make me see a stamp set, I truly thought wasn't my style, in a whole new light.

Here is my CASE of that card using Iconic Images and watercolor pencils:

I really enjoyed doing this for Laurie and hopefully she knows she IS our idol :)

The next blog you should go to is: Suzanne

Enjoy!
