Hello! Technique Junkies is Celebrating the new July Release! As with every Techique Junkies release, you can save 15% on all new stamps through July 8th. And, you can save an additional 10% on everything in the store ( except clearance) with code TJ10LeeAnn. Let's check out the new release! This is my favorite of the release, Sailing Panel. Using my MISTI, I inked up areas with different colors of ink. I colored in the boat with a Copic marker. Next, I used a my Currents stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and various different Distress Inks in blues alongside the stamped image. To give the card some dimension, I added a drop shadow using a grey Copic along the right side of the Sailing Panel. Lastly, I added a banner, using the new Smooth Sailing sentiment stamp. I am linking Smooth Sailing up to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, 'Anything Goes'. Next up is the fabulous new background stamp, Ropes. I decided to go the easy route and simply heat emboss it onto navy cardstock. Please excuse this photo. It either was looking like black cs or over-exposed navy blue. Anywho, as you can see I embossed the background in white. I then stamped the Vintage Lighthouse stamp in navy and fussy cut it out. I made a frame using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A Card Creator Dies and adhered the lighthouse to the inside of the frame; then popped up the frame on the card front. I finished it off with a the Aged to Perfection sentiment stamped on a strip of cs. I am linking up to Watercooler Wednesday- All About Occasions (Birthday). As it is the first of the month, it is also time for a new challenge at The Rainbow Card Challenge! Can you guess what the color is this month?? We hope you play along with your monochromatic blue card! Now, how about some more Technique Junkies inspiration!
