Friends

Hope y'all are having a wonderful start to your week this week! I also hope you are all enjoying life and the beautiful autumn season. Where I am, the leaves are starting to change their colours and the air is crisp and cold. Just little things I'm thankful for!

Here's a card using 2 Technique Junkie Newsletter techniques, Painted Puzzle, a bonus technique from the latest CD release and Burnished Background from the October '09 issue. Both are fun techniques to be sure and the possibilities are endless. If you haven't gotten your latest CD release, I encourage you to do so. The bonus techniques on the CD will blow you away!

On my card, the stamp image on the puzzle is from Paperbag Studio. Background is from Stampin' Up! Click photo to enlarge. Enjoy!

Until next time, may mojo live happily in your heart, and may passion bloom in your soul. Be well!

Oh, Happy Day!

First off, I must apologise for the blurrrrr... of my photo. I would have taken a new one if I still have the card. But as you might have guessed, I no longer have the card. It was sent out for a swap on IFS Yahoo board last week.

The netted looking part of the background was actually dry wall tape that I used to imitate the magic mesh. You can stain it pretty much any colour you fancy. I used chalk ink from ColorBox Fluid Chalk ink pad from Clearsnap on mine. The main image, by Tim Holtz, from Stamper Anonymous (p. 140), was stamped on a piece of sanded children's puzzle with black Memories Dye ink. I distressed the puzzle piece a little using Tim Holtz Distress Ink. The little strip of metal was from a recycled sardines in tomato sauce can. I stamped "Oh, Happy day!" with Stamping Die Set from Making Memories.

Thanks for stopping by today!
