<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some new and exciting changes are coming!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But before I can release all the info, I'd like to share with you a few fall cards!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More news to come, I promise and it's going to be GREAT!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aYCI_YbrpSE/W8PkolJg4TI/AAAAAAAAAh8/LjTxL1VcC18VmjmkY_nZDrnX1RQsl0TPQCLcBGAs/s1600/PanPastelColoring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aYCI_YbrpSE/W8PkolJg4TI/AAAAAAAAAh8/LjTxL1VcC18VmjmkY_nZDrnX1RQsl0TPQCLcBGAs/s320/PanPastelColoring.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I created this card by coloring with Pan Pastels after inking the leaves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wz20Zcvo6ik/W8PkpB3LTlI/AAAAAAAAAiA/LTXxJfHJt70VmLd6btziVf6JX9Nhcw0LwCLcBGAs/s1600/PanPasttelDieCut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Wz20Zcvo6ik/W8PkpB3LTlI/AAAAAAAAAiA/LTXxJfHJt70VmLd6btziVf6JX9Nhcw0LwCLcBGAs/s320/PanPasttelDieCut.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then lined up the dies to my inked/colored images and ran them through a manual die cutting machine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VcLznb9ixas/W8Pkpe1pWJI/AAAAAAAAAiE/yWsKPte5k8g6J9eEv3Hgfx0XlVVRLobewCLcBGAs/s1600/PanPastelFinished.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VcLznb9ixas/W8Pkpe1pWJI/AAAAAAAAAiE/yWsKPte5k8g6J9eEv3Hgfx0XlVVRLobewCLcBGAs/s320/PanPastelFinished.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wrapped my favorite leaves with some jute or twine and popped them up using foam dimensionals. I inked a sentiment and then splattered some ink across the whole panel.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uDZB1b6PE70/W8Pkru_HHsI/AAAAAAAAAiI/9PuPSRGpL_IJhYMM_4OxUKv6bx27ioYlwCLcBGAs/s1600/LeavesThanksgivingSIngle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uDZB1b6PE70/W8Pkru_HHsI/AAAAAAAAAiI/9PuPSRGpL_IJhYMM_4OxUKv6bx27ioYlwCLcBGAs/s320/LeavesThanksgivingSIngle.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On these cards, I stamped the leaves in a brown ink and cut the out. I glued them to a craft panel and placed it in</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> a woodgrain embossing folder, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and ran the whole thing through the manual embossing machine. I used craft ink to sponge some highlight on the woodgrain and splattered some ink across the whole thing too.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope these cards inspire you for some fall fun creations!</span><br />

<b><span style="color: purple;"><i>Greetings Inky Friends!</i></span></b></h4>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In one of my online groups, the moderator decided to host an</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Impromptu Swap" where all participants were sent the same image and then each of us had a swap partner that we created a card using this image and sent our creation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the image that we all received:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CggU4KrehRA/W0vPX8R4NvI/AAAAAAAAAg8/plABqPdXkXo-0NURM2CzZ0FLs23J2qBMgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0680.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CggU4KrehRA/W0vPX8R4NvI/AAAAAAAAAg8/plABqPdXkXo-0NURM2CzZ0FLs23J2qBMgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0680.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This forced me to work a little outside my box as this wasn't my normal style. BUT that's also WHY I wanted to join this swap too! I LOVE getting products and being told "Now create something with this!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this is what I ended up doing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not any stamping other than using Distress and Oxide Distress Inks on the background piece and spraying it with a mica mist. The card base is a brushed gold too so there's a lot of sheen to this card!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And this is the card I received! What's funny is that I originally wanted to cut and layer images but I wasn't sure where and what to cut out and pop up!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How ironic that's what I received!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This swap concept was really fun and should you have the opportunity to partake, I encourage it! Or maybe it will inspire you to host something</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">like this as well!</span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Greetings Inky Friends!</span></i></b></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today I'm sharing a card I sent to a friend who got her job</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'working for the mouse' as she puts it! Hope she's tickled with it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I simply punched the mouse head & ears from the yellow panel and laid it down onto a piece of black. I wanted to created a more fluid head and ears as opposed to punching circles and laying them on top of another. I used some Disney Washi Tape, added my popped up sentiment and Minnie's Bow, matted that onto red and then a black card base and called her done!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Long time, no blog! I hate how life gets in the way of my creative fun</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been busy making the transition from central Ohio to</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Albuquerque, New Mexico! I fell in love with New Mexico 20 years ago and visited again about 2.5 years ago and felt the same way. I was at a point in my life where is was a "now or never" deal so I jumped! It's been a little slow going but I recently landed a job with a small business whose concentration is making customized, hand painted/designed/assembled</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">layers adhered together making them </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">VERY substantial</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and impressive and so whimsical and fun!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a couple Christmas cards I did at the last crop I hosted....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used one of my favorite background stamp <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/swaths-of-texture/">Swaths of Texture</a> and applied Distress Stains directly to the stamp in a couple reds and silver. I added red and clear Stickles to the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/christmas/?sort=featured&page=2">Red or White Christmas</a> wine glasses for added sparkle and shimmer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uQd0loPu7xM/WESH-USUD2I/AAAAAAAAAdA/2KPyff41YgcJlJDB_HUozQpm8r9xe6F9wCLcB/s1600/WhiteXmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uQd0loPu7xM/WESH-USUD2I/AAAAAAAAAdA/2KPyff41YgcJlJDB_HUozQpm8r9xe6F9wCLcB/s320/WhiteXmas.jpg" width="249" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was able to get a second impression from the same stains/background image and decided to create a birthday card using the versatile set <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/grand-greetings-set-of-5/">Grand Greetings</a> for an OSU loving friend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last card I simple covered a piece of card stock with different washing tapes and added the adorable <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/christmas-carol-kitty/">Christmas Carol Kitty</a> to the front. I colored him using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the last card in my own little personal series of using</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/layered-swirls/" target="_blank">Layered Swirls</a> background stamp!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created the background using the Polished Stone technique</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with alcohol inks and blending solution and inked the back ground stamp</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with Black Archival ink and stamped on top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The polished stone piece that <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/trust-your-journey/" target="_blank">Trust Your Journey</a> is stamped on was a 2nd or 3rd generation of the original inking of the background piece! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added some <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19855&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=70.98&ReferringDealerID=333" target="_blank">Rhinestones</a> to selected area of the Background and called it complete!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the jewel-tones colors in this card!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post brings you more yumminess from the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/november-2016/">November New Release</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to grab these at 15% OFF too!! SO go shop NOW</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(well after you look at my card!) haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/layered-swirls/">Layered Swirls</a> background and the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/coffee-with-friends/">Coffee with Friends</a> stamps on this card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the background I used the Tim Holtz Polished Stone technique with alcohol inks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and blending solution and then inked the Swirled background with some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Archival Ink and stamped onto the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped the Coffee image and fussy cut a border and popped it off the <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20744&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=70.80&ReferringDealerID=333">Gold Thread</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure to visit again on November 21st for my last card using this background</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1477881649439_2693">I FELL IN LOVE with this <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/layered-swirls/" target="_blank">BACKGROUND</a> stamp and ended up creating 5 different cards with it trying to give the beauty of this stamp justice! I'll share a few now and save the other 2 for later.... so make sure and follow me so you won't miss them! ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1477881649439_2693">For the first 2, I heat embossed the background with clear embossing powder and used these <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/MainCart.aspx?PriorNav=ProductDetail_69&ReferringDealerID=333" target="_blank">Color Splashes</a> to add color and then mopped up the excess with a paper towel. The embossing powder resists the Splashes! I used TJ's <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/by-the-sea-set-of-6/" target="_blank">By the Sea</a> stamp set for the blue~green piece, and this fun little <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/oh-snap-set-of-7/" target="_blank">Oh Snap</a> camera set for the pink~peach card!</span></div>

I then re-inked the background with a <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19962&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=69.104&ReferringDealerID=333" target="_blank">Whipped Cream</a> (white) ink pad and stamped on top of the chalked image.

<i><span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Greetings Inky Friends!!</span></i></h3>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today I'm sharing a fun technique using Distress Stains and a Shimmer Spray.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I began by adding stains directly to my background stamp.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I "activated" the stains using the Dylusions Mica spray which has a shimmer in it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was afraid that color would over power the stains, but it did not! I would suggest a translucent shimmer spray but I did not have one available </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">at the time of creating :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I then took some Distress ink and sponged around the Swaths of Texture <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/swaths-of-texture/">background</a> piece.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My focal image uses one of the New October Releases called <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/mrs-santas-list/">Mrs. Santas List</a>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I colored her using Distress Markers and the green piece used behind her was a</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">scrap left over I had from another project.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course I had to add some more shimmer so I added glitter to her santa hat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love the vibrant and retro feel of this card. One of my favorites yet!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now on to my cards...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I chose to use the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/christmas-ornaments-trio-set-of-9/" target="_blank">Christmas Ornaments Trio</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for both of my shares.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I simply heat embossed all images with <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20263&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=333" target="_blank">Black Embossing Powder</a> onto some <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=21083&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=69.122&ReferringDealerID=333" target="_blank">brushed silver card stock</a> and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">mounted that onto a black card base.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was once told that a Christmas card couldn't be made using black! I think by using silver, some <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19855&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=70.98&ReferringDealerID=333" target="_blank">bling</a> and a little ribbon,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it can! </span><i><span style="font-size: large;">What do you think??</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For my next card, in addition to the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/christmas-ornaments-trio-set-of-9/" target="_blank">Ornament</a> set, I used the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/calm-and-bright/" target="_blank">Calm & Bright</a> background for the snowflake frame. I inked that up using Archival ink onto white card stock and mounted that on the same <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=21083&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=69.122&ReferringDealerID=333" target="_blank">brushed silver card stock</a> from above. I also used <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20264&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=333" target="_blank">silver embossing powder</a> this time for the ornament and colored it some using Distress Markers and edged it with the Archival. I created a background for my ornament piece using some phrasing from the set. I had the little glittered chipboard snowflake laying around and added that as well!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I decided to pull out an OLD TECHNIQUE from the archives of</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">TJ Newsletters! This one is called "Chalk Dragging" and is from April 2003, Volume 1, Issue 4! However I used 'updated' materials that I didn't know about (if they were even available then?) like <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/shoppingcartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20862&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0">Pan Pastels!</a> I tried it first using just one color and then decided to use </span></span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: center;">2 on the second piece and liked that result better.</span></div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><br />

The beauty with Pan Pastels is that you can erase it! So i erased around the image and words but not too heavy so I can leave that ghosty look to go along with the dragged look. I then folder over a couple piece of <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/shoppingcartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20094&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=70.139&ReferringDealerID=333">Washi Tape</a> to create little flags and popped up the whole image.</span></div>

<span style="color: purple;"><i>Greetings Ink Friends!</i></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back today to show a couple Halloween cards using the September <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/september-2016/">New Releases</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used both the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/pumpkin-tree-guy/">Pumpkin Tree Guy</a> and the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/happy-halloween/">Happy Halloween</a> stamps</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for both cards just done a little different on each!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this first card, I heat embossed the Pumpkin Guy with black embossing powder and then painted him in using <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/products-and-accessories/art-anthology-products/">Art Anthology Paints.</a> I used my finger to paint a moon in the corner too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After drying, I sprayed the piece with the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/products-and-accessories/colorations-sprays-art-anthology/">Colorations sprays</a> and the painted piece resists the sprays! I used a piece of printed paper from the <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=21195&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=69.115&ReferringDealerID=333">Spooky Prints</a> stack and heat embossed the Halloween greeting in White embossing powder. I die cut a Bat from my <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19531&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=75.95&ReferringDealerID=333">Snapshot Frames</a> set and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
popped him off the corner to finish off the card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIgY_fBpZ2E/V9Yv8DWa2zI/AAAAAAAAAZY/D22dZQHt7ZIJq3W-C175KKNjcpIoJcy0gCLcB/s1600/PumpkinBranch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIgY_fBpZ2E/V9Yv8DWa2zI/AAAAAAAAAZY/D22dZQHt7ZIJq3W-C175KKNjcpIoJcy0gCLcB/s320/PumpkinBranch.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NLXADFqGb24/V9Yv-uotaOI/AAAAAAAAAZg/EIDS-RQZdmoCzelgmPtT7NNZde-NuxAzACLcB/s1600/ArtAnthol.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NLXADFqGb24/V9Yv-uotaOI/AAAAAAAAAZg/EIDS-RQZdmoCzelgmPtT7NNZde-NuxAzACLcB/s320/ArtAnthol.JPG" width="234" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the next card, I treated the <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19531&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=75.95&ReferringDealerID=333">Pumpkin Guy </a>the exact same way as above, except</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/MainCart.aspx?PriorNav=ProductDetail_69&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=333">Cosmic Grape & Blue Lagoon Splashes</a> for the background. I sponged <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/MainCart.aspx?PriorNav=ProductDetail_69&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=333">River Rock </a>ink</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
around the edges and splattered <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/MainCart.aspx?PriorNav=ProductDetail_69&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=333">Sour Lemon Silk </a>to create a starry night. I popped him off another print from the <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=21195&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=69.115&ReferringDealerID=333">Spooky Prints</a> pad. I inked the Halloween greeting in <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19962&CatalogueID=222&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&InternalUse=1&ProductGroupString=69.104&ReferringDealerID=333">Whip Cream </a>and heat embossed with <a href="https://shop.funstampersjourney.com/MemberToolsDotNet/ShoppingCartv3/MainCart.aspx?PriorNav=ProductDetail_70&PartyID=0&PartyGuestID=0&ReferringDealerID=333">Clear Powder</a> this time to give a more ghostly effect.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9D2tbDA6ABI/V9Yv-gWwMaI/AAAAAAAAAZc/4502zaBCNLMbHnGez8NIk57j2b2nhpICQCLcB/s1600/PumpkinBranch2JPG.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9D2tbDA6ABI/V9Yv-gWwMaI/AAAAAAAAAZc/4502zaBCNLMbHnGez8NIk57j2b2nhpICQCLcB/s320/PumpkinBranch2JPG.JPG" width="260" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I simply LOVE how the images over at <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/">Technique Junkies</a> work so well with all the other supplies we own! Makes them SO versatile! Be sure to hop on over and <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/">check them out</a>!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I used the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/boo/" target="_blank">BOO!</a> stamp as the focal image on these 2 cards!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">at <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/tonyadavidson" target="_blank">Fun Stampers Journey</a> and thought it complimented the image so well. I used the <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/tonyadavidson" target="_blank">Journey Glaze</a> to add dimension to the B and EYES as you can see in the close up photos. I colored the "B" using the amazingly smooth</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now for my shares...</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I first cut 2 panels of watercolor paper and sprayed them with a few </span><a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/products-and-accessories/colorations-sprays-art-anthology/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Art Anthology Colorations sprays</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. I wasn't totally digging the results so while the paper was still wet, I dripped some </span><a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/products-and-accessories/art-anthology-products/minx-shimmering-inks/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Minx</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> inks onto the paper and spread/blended it out with my fingers and misting with more water as needed to achieve the look I wanted.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;">Disclaimer: I didn't REALLY KNOW what look I was going after! LOL</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I loved the look of both as it turned out.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">One reminded me of a spooky fall night sky and the other,</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">a weird sunset glow begging for a <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/halloween-house/">Spooky House</a>!</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">On the first card, I heat embossed the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/flying-bats/">Bats</a> with black embossing powder on top of my shimmery Minx sky. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I then used some silver <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/tonyadavidson">Pan Pastels</a> to create the silver moon glow. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">I really wanted to add some kind of phrase/wording/title like "Bats about you" but I owned NOTHING of the sort and I thought about printing something like that from the computer but then was worried about covering up too much of that glorious shimmer! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">I mounted it on a silver shimmer card base too. It really is gorgeous IRL!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
Next, I simply stamped the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/halloween-house/">Spooky House</a> with black ink on the other panel and then stamped just the bat in the corner on anther piece of paper, trimmed him out and popped him up. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">I masked off the rest of the words, leaving only the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com//be-scary/">Scary</a> behind, wrapped some black twine and popped it off that. I then used some <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/tonyadavidson">Journey Glaze</a> to add dimension and shine to the bat and word. Thanks to the Minx, the sky has some shimmer in the sky as well!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Today I want to share a Birthday Card of these lovely <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/three-amigas/">Three Amigas</a> who got together</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">to sing a song for you! I used the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/ikat/">IKAT Background</a> to add to the western feel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The background was colored using Distress Crayons and Inks and the ladies were colored with Distress markers and edged with blending some Distress Ink as well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I stamped the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/circle-birthday-song/">Birthday Song greeting</a> twice and punched it out with a 2" circle punch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I colored one with Distress Crayons and cut the words only from the second inking,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">popping it up on the colored greeting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love how so many of the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/">TJ stamps</a> can be intertwined with each new release!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Greetings Inky Friends!</i></span></h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today I'm sharing another new August Release from <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/august-2016/" target="_blank">Technique Junkies</a>!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used Ranger Distress Stains to create the backgrounds for this card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the focal image background, I squirted stain onto my craft sheet and used a brayer to lift it off and brayer over the card stock. To help blend the colors a little more, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I misted water onto the craft sheet and used the same brayering technique.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love the speckled, mottled look it created.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For the base piece background, I squirted Picket Fence stain and added other colors surrounding the Picket Fence. I spritzed with water and dipped my card stock into the inky surface to 'marble' and swirl the colors together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The picket fence helps mute the colors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/row/" target="_blank">ROW</a> and was able to trim off the sentiment that came with the set and decided to make it a masculine birthday card using the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/birthday-wishes/" target="_blank">Birthday Wishes Stamp</a> stamped in white ink.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I cut 3 different colors of card stock panels the same size</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">inked them each the same way.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Using the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.com/products-and-accessories/misti/" target="_blank">Misti</a> tool helps ensure exact placement with each inking!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Then I cut them all exactly the same way too,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">swapping out my colored blocks and realigning them up ~ so I created 3 backgrounds</span></div>
