ISC challenge #18

This week's challenge at http://www.innovativestampcreations.com/ischomepage.html was to make something using crackle paint or the cracked glass technique. Since I don't have any crackle paint, I made a card with the cracked glass technique featuring stamps from the Summer Elements III sheet. I really love how it turned out.

ISC challenge #17

This week's challenge at ISC http://innovativestampcreations.com/ was to make a book with the Bind it All machine and decorate it with grungeboard. I have been recently trying to catch up with photo printing--no, I'm not going to tell how far behind I am--so I decided to make a book to track my photos.

Shown here is the front and back of the book. I used the summer elements III sheet and Silhouettes I. The stars and arrow are grungeboard which I embossed with embossing powder.

ISC challenge #16

This week the challenge at Innovative Stamp creations, http://innovativestampcreations.com/ , was to make a tag using only ISC stamps and a technique by Tim Holtz, http://www.timholtz.typepad.com/. I used the ISC summer elements sheet and the techniques that Tim used in his 12 tags of Christmas, day 7. This is how it all turned out.

Make it Monday and a Girl Scout Camping Trip

Hi all. I blogged about the cub scout camping trip, I should talk about the girl scout camping trip I went on last weekend. We stayed in a lodge at the girl scout camp and the lodge was very nice. It had electricity and a kitchen so we could cook indoors. Best of all we had light at night. I don't like being in the dark . But since the camp has to be cleaned spic and span before we check out, it is a lot of work.

On to Make it Mondays. Lisa Vollrath's challenge this week was to use windows or doors. I made this ATC for the challenge.

ISCC13-Make ATCs featuring resist techniques

This week's ISC challenge http://www.innovativestampcreations.com/ischomepage.html was to make 2-4 ATCs using at least 2 different resist techniques. For my first technique I used Krylon metallic pens as a resist. I doodled over the ATC with the metallic ink, then sprayed over them with color wash sprays. The ink resists the water color.

For my 2nd resist technique I used embossing powder for the resist. I painted the ATC with acrylic paint then stamped a background image with embossing ink and embossed with clear powder. Then I added a lighter color of paint over the image. Once it was dry, I ironed off the embossing powder, allowing the first color of paint to show through. Some of the sheets that I used for this project are Elegant Artsy Swirls, Nature Silhouettes I, Majestic Women VI and Summer Elements III.
