Technique Tuesday Countdown Day 1 - Lilacs and Nails

Good morning! So excited to begin sharing my cards for the May Release from Technique Tuesday! Woohoo!!! This release has a lovely floral, a fun new addition to the barnyard, and LOTS of great guy sets! Make sure and check out the Technique Tuesday Blog to find links to all the Design Team's projects for today!

I have not one, but TWO cards to share today! First up, featuring the lovely new Lilac Stamps to create a Mother's Day card (a holiday which is coming up VERY quickly!):

I love the detail in this gorgeous new stamp. I colored it up with Copics, added some white gel pen accents, and added on the "mom"from last month's Flowers for Her Stamp Set.

I layered some paper together, tied some jute string to the top, and finished off with a few decorative jewels in a coordinating purple color!

And for my second card - I went totally masculine using the new What a Guy Stamp Set!

We say this so often in our house - usually in a tone of full sarcasm to say that we totally failed! So of course I couldn't wait to use this one! I stamped the sentiment, then filled in the nails above and below.

Colored with Copic markers nice and simple, and then covered each nail with Tonic Crystal Glaze for some nice shine. Hard to see in the photos - but TOTALLY fun in real life I promise!

Partial Popped Up Image

Good morning! Dropping by this morning with a card using another new release from Unity Stamp Company - as well as a Quick Tip video for a fun popped up accent on this image!

Here is the video showing how I did this:

I love how it really doesn't interrupt the image - but it adds a fun little bit of interest and detail. A bit of jute twine tied around is the perfect finishing touch.

Partial Image Focal Point

Good morning! Dropping by with a card and Quick Tip video this morning using a brand new Phyllis Harris Release from Unity Stamp Company called Faith Looks Up!

I thought it would be fun, instead of using the entire image, to just create a focal point with part of it. Here is a peek at what I did:

I love how simple it is and all that lovely white space as well!
