It was great to see Gail bring a card to class that she had made using the Sponging Technique from our Technique Treats#4 Lovely as a Tree that she won last month. She said the instructions were easy to follow and she was very pleased with her card. We thought she had done a great job too. Keep playing Gail!

Things going a bit slow today here on the “Sunny Coast” of Australia. We have had wild winds, endless heavy rain and hit and miss communications.

Despite the weather though it is a Happy Day.

We have a lucky WINNER!!! for our special comments on this months Catalogue launch. I am pleased to say, husband Bevan pulled the name out of the hat, and our lucky winner is Gail!! Well done Gail, just shows a comment or two on blogs can have beneficial effects. I will arrange for you to receive you FREE TUTORIAL!!  Thanks to all those who visited and commented.  It was a record number of visits, hope you all come back again and better luck next time.

I haven’t made many Split Negative cards so found this Tutorial a good way to refresh my June TTown memory on what an effective way it is to showcase a stamp or effect. Traditionally done in black and white I wanted to extend things a bit and made a female card using Basic Black and Melon Mambo Inks. You can choose your favorite  colours when making from the tutorial.

All 4 cards are made featuring the Traveler Stamp Set.

Cards using Spotlighting in my past have been mostly nature based and centered on birds or flowers so again using the Traveler Set was a move away from the norm. Vicky has extended it even further with additional techniques we  have covered in past tutorials.

This is what tutorials challenge you to do and Gail said it well in her comment.

“I would love to win a Free Technique Treat, it might help me get out of my comfort zone & help me to do something different”

This is what we bring to you each month, a chance to do something different.

Remember:

If this is your first visit you can still purchase the previous months by clicking on their Buy button.

If you are interested but don’t want to use  PayPal  please Contact me to make alternate arrangements for purchase and Payments.

Happy Stamping Naomi!

Thank you, for stopping bye.

As promised in my February Newsletter I have created a card featuring a stamping off technique or Repetition Stamping.  Another terms for this Technique would be first and second generation, with this example having 5 generations. In this card the technique has been used to give an illusion of movement as the plane takes flight. The idea did come from Tracie St Lewis on Pinterest.

I created the card by making a background with Sponging and Aqua Painters to create the sky then stamped directly onto the dry background in Archival Ink.

Added the greeting from the same stamp set “Sky is the Limit” and a few jewels and card done. Apart from the drying this technique gives a quick effective card, with minimal supplies. Think bikes, cars, old gramophones, running bunnies for Easter. Let the imagination run riot.

Pop over here for the tutorial.         Soaring Love

For those who have been following this blog and those that receive my newsletter you will be aware that today is the day the first Technique Treat goes live.

Vicky and I have chosen to use the delightful Rose Wonder stamp set with two techniques, Aqua painters and Re-inkers.

Even if you don’t have Rose Wonder, these techniques can be used with an number of similar sets or flower stamps.

I encourage you to pop over to the Technique Treat page

While you are here remember that time is running out as the Sky’s The Limit and these two lovely items will no longer be available free with any purchase from any Stampin’ Up Catalogue to the value of $90.00 AUS after the 15th February. Get yours while you still can.

You can see Sky’s the limit in “Birthday Boy” and “Soaring Love”

Happy Stamping!
