Technique Tuesday September 2018 Release

Hey everyone.  I'm a little late sharing the Technique Tuesday September release.  Unfortunately I suffered a TIA (mini stroke) on August 24th. Not the way I planned on spending my Friday night however after multiple testing and admission into the hospital we were able to get my blood pressure under control.  I will be having more testing done and plan on taking better care of myself.  You all know how much my family and crafting means to be so I need to make sure I'm doing my part to be on this earth as long as possible.  😉


I was able to finish up my cards and I wanted to share them with you.  If you haven't had a chance to swing by the Technique Tuesday blog to see the August 2018 release make sure to do so.  The design team members have done a phenomenal job with this release.

My first card is featuring the new Lovely Lavender stamp set and coordinating crafting dies along with the new Mandala Maker crafting die.  I colored the lavender with Copic makers.  I die cut out the mandala out of heavy weight vellum and also colored that with Copic markers.  I then die cut the mandala a few more times on white cardstock to secure my vellum to it.  I finished off this card with the

For my second card I used the Mandala Sentiments Stamp set with the Mandala Maker crafting die to make this card.  I stamped them in pretty blue, magenta and yellow inks along my card front.  Next I stamped a smaller image from this set in a graphite gray ink to fill in some of the space.  Next I stamped the happy birthday to you sentiment in the middle of the mandala.  To add some texture to this card I used the mandala die with vellum and added that different pieces of the mandalas.

And for my last card.  I made an ocean scene with the Wendell The Whale stamp set.  I watercolored him in rainbow fashion (yes, Wendall is a rainbow whale) 😂 and had him swimming across my card.  A watercolored the water and I used drew in some sun rays and clouds.  Next I stamped a sentiment and some hearts and popped them up with foam tape.
