Terrific Technique Thursday

Well not so terrific today but lets bring back technique Thursday!

I have wanted to do this for quite some time but now just getting around to getting to it! With 18 hours of college a full time job I try to find the time to craft and have a little bit of a life plus blog about it:o)

Todays project is a non-traditional Christmas card

Recipie~

-1 8 1/2X 11 pixie pink(I think I am not for sure;) ) cardstock

-1 Orchid opulance cardstock

- 1 glorious green cardstock

- Prima flowers

-wishing you cheer stamp set

-black stampin up stamp pad

-stampin up markers

The technique is using markers to ink your stamps

now probably lots of you know about this but for those that dont it is a really neat technique that gives your stamped images a different look. I used it on the sentiment on the inside! Today's project is also to tell you that you do not have to have a traditional Christmas card for it to be festive!

gather your materials I used the stampin up materials but whatever you want to use

stamp set Markers I used Images stamped in black

Then I took the markers and individually inked the words a different color.

This is how you do this

1- ink however you wish on your image

2- breath on the stamp

3- stamp down and see your masterpiece

(now the warm moist of your breath will bring the ink back to life and you can stamp )

This is my finished product

and the inside:

I am very happy with this card it is PINK my favorite color! and using Stampin up! my favorite stampin company:o)

Hope you enjoy

Happy crafting!!!
