Technique Tuesday: Shattered Glass

Today I am sharing the Shattered Glass Technique.  This one is an oldie but goodie... I love the way the Navy and the Mustard colors look together.  The white lines are so vibrant... almost looks like the Crayon Resist Technique.  Hope this inspires you today!!

Color Combo Challenge: The Open Sea

Today's "Color Combo Challenge" is definitely a challenge for me because these are colors that are not part of my comfort zone.  I normally would not work with these colors together.  I usually go with elegant and understated, but sometimes you have to step out of the box and try new things.  And it always works if you keep it simple.

Black & White Birthday Card

Made this Black and White birthday card for a friend who is an older, but classy women.  I think this card is perfect.  

Paint Chip Gorgeous

In cleaning out my craft room this weekend I came across this card and I had to post it again.  It's amazing what you can do with paint chips from Home Depot.  I miss this stamp set... Fifth Avenue Floral.

I picked out the paint chips and then I made the card to match using Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery and a little touch of So Saffron.  The card stock background is Basic Gray.  Hope this inspires you.

 

Round and Round we go...

Sometimes it nice to just play around with shapes.  I decided to use some scraps of DSP and some scraps of card stock and I made this card for a kids birthday card.  I kept it simple, except I did run the card stock pieces through the Chevron embossing folder to give the card some depth.

Throwback Thursday: Punched Animals

OK... how stinkin cute are these little guys.  I rember when we were putting these together as a project at one of our Demo meeting sand we couldn't stop laughing at each one...  especially the monkey!  Simply adorable!

Technique Tuesday: Acetate & Tissue

This technique is a little messy because it involves reinkers and crystal effects.  But it is so worth it.  You can't appreciate how pretty this looks with a picture.  You will have to try it and see for yourself.
