Watercolor Plants

This is a card that I taught at a recent Technique Club. The flower image comes from TAC's Watercolor Plants stamp set and the sentiment is from Tag Tidbits. I used the 'huffing' technique where you color right onto your stamp with markers and then 'huff' on it to moisten it right before stamping. I love using this technique with this stamp set.

School has started back up and I'm trying to get back in the school routine. I have 16 kindergartners and I'm working hard to get them into their routine because I'm due to have my baby in less than 7 weeks! I know I have not been good to update lately and now things are set to get even more busy...I'll do my best to keep the posts coming. I'm sure that once baby Lily arrives you will start seeing more mini albums and scrapbook pages...I can't wait! Thanks for stopping by.

Bandana Technique

I had heard about the Bandana Technique and decided that I needed to try it...it's so much fun! I taught the technique at my August Technique club. The secret is to have a really good white gel pen. Here's the card that we made.


The stamp set that I used is called Petal Pack. It has a lot of fun images to choose from. The sentiment comes from one of TAC's Level A hostess sets. (you can get it for free when you have a $100 FunShop!)

There are so many different areas that you can apply your white pen to. I made up this little chart to show my guests just a few of the areas that they could fill in. Each one gives a different look.

My inspiration for this card came from Vicki Hook. She has a great post about this technique here and shares another example here. Be sure to check out her blog- she does great work!!
