I love trying out new techniques, and my favorite place to learn new skills is from Jennifer McGuire on her blog. She always has new ideas and cool techniques. This technique is faux mono print, and well...it didn't go so well. I messed up a lot of paper, but was finally able to get these two backgrounds to come out (enough to use them anyway). I created a rainbow background using my distress inks, using three colors and overlapping them to create the the orange & purple colors. Then, continued to follow the technique (you really need to watch the video to get a good explanation, it is linked above), used water and placed a clean sheet of card stock on the top, and ran it through my die cutting matching. I think I either need to use a thicker card stock than I did, or less ink, or less water. Anyway, it was a bit of a mess, but I do love how this attempt came out. I also like that you get two cards backgrounds from the technique. I used the newer Altenew Happy Birthday to You stamp set and the Treble Love Die set to finish up the card. The stamp set has this really great two step Happy Birthday word, which I stamped the base set in black, then clear heat embossed the top layer, which allows the background color to show. I then used a glitter pen to trace over the heart (notes) and the treble clef. I like how they came out, and think someone will love to receive them.

I found this really funny t-shirt online about 4 months ago, and thought...my dad needs that shirt. It is a navy blue t-shirt and says in big white letters, "Awesome Like My Daughter." I thought it was funny, so I purchased one. It was the perfect gift for Father's Day, and he loved it. I made a card for him, and decorated a Panera Bread bag to match. I love how it all turned out. Materials Used: Altenew: Trophy Life stamp set Delicata inks: Celestial Copper & Sapphire Blue The Paper Studio: Metallic Washi Tap in copper and blue Cards tock: Recollections Scalloped Nesting Dies (sorry I do not remember the maker) Pattern Paper from my stash Gift Bag was a up-cycled bag from Panera Bread (it was from a lunch order, but all the food was in containers, so why not use it) |
