Stamping Get Together... Swaps

These are swaps from my stamping get together with some friends.  I made the background using ink pads, a clear block and a spritzer with water.  You can find instructions on this technique from a previous post on February 11.

Stampin' Up! Rose Garden Resist

I used daubers to color in this rose and leaves.  I used the Rose Garden Thinlits to cut out the rose on white card stock.  I colored in and around with daubers and Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Ink Pads.  You can find directions in my previous post from February 17.

Stampin With Scraps: Love Blossoms Paper Stack

Pleated Skirt Technique: Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper

I had to try this Pleated Skirt Technique.  It works very well with the new Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper from the new Occasions Catalog. See instructions below.

I cut a strip of Birthday Bouquet DSP measuring 6 x 12.  I then scored at 2, 3, 5 6, 8, 9 and 11.  Then I measured an 1" on each end and put a pencil mark. 

I used those pencil marks to cut the piece in half at an angle.  You can make four cards with one sheet of 12 x 12 DSP.
