Recently I've seen a technique called ghosting that has been around a while and just had to try it out - I've seen several versions of it and wanted to test it out.
So here is my trial run:
This technique (not this card!) will be taught at the next technique class September 12 at 10:30.
There is room for 12 - so RSVP early to reserve your spot!
Did I tell you I go from simple to elaborate? Here is one that LOOKS like it takes alot of time to create, but wow, with a BIG SHOT, it takes not time at all! Aren't these corduroy buttons gorgeous?
One pass through and all the flowers are CUT!!!! Thank you Stampin' Up! for making MY life easy!
Don't forget, you can take a shot at winning a BIG SHOT from me by simply placing and order of $50 (before s/h & taxes) between now and June 30! One lucky person will be able to create flowers like this with their very own BIG SHOT!
Who says you have to follow instructions to the "T"?
This card was made with a little variation from the directions given in the "Flower Power" Simply Sent Card Elements kit (#112028, page 176).
I rather like how it turned out! This is the beauty of Stampin' Up! products - you can follow the directions and have a beautiful product or you can let your own creative juices take over and come up with your own unique design -
It's up to you!
This card kit is a bargain at $15.95 - with all the cardstock and accessories to make 9 cards - can you buy a card for less than $2 at the store and of this quality?
I will be posting the cards I make from the Handmade Holiday Card Elements kit #112016, page 177 (this is the Christmas card kit) as soon as I get them all made - of course, those are the cards I'll be sending out this year. 18 cards for $17.95 - less than $1.00 each - and I don't have to do any designing, just assembly if I don't feel up to changing what SU! already has planned!
I purchased the "To you & yours" stamp set that coordinates with it - I love the Dove! It looks gorgeous with the dazzling diamonds - and I stamped a coaster with the dove - it is a beauty! Until next time,
Happy stamping,
