Sharing a couple of makes from Technique Junkies 

new release for this month !!!


Thought I would showcase a couple of funny ones today

This first one using one of the saying from the new 

inside out set 

and an older stamp with this lady

mixed media

 Hi Ya!!!

Today I am sharing a mixed media card I have made (and taught)

recently

One of my fav techniques

Lots of stenciling and inking and stamping oh my !!!

Layers and threads and empherma too.

Always be prepared for some inky fingers too lol



I layered it onto some black cardstock and roughed up the edges

then to finish it off I used brads in the four corners

to hold it onto the card


It can get warped with all the glue etc.

so I usually bend it back or place under something

heavy for awhile

Used one of the may stencils available at TJ for the background

Next is one in pink...

Masked the girl then splattered some colour around

and a little bit of bling
