-----------new Techniques
 

I am getting a little bored with my techniques - and I am looking for new ones. What is your favorite technique and would you briefly describe it?

Thanks,

Romywill

I like to do Polished Stone. You'll find the description, plus a whole bunch more, if you click on the word "resources" at the very top of this page.

thanks so much! I will go there.

what techniques are you bored with? I still love watercoloring (there are so many ways to do it), and I'm also loving anything stamped with light craft ink on dark CS. such a neat look. also soot stamping is growing on me. these are just a few of my favorites.

moved to appropriate forum :)

Welcome, Romywill, from sunny Florida. I like to make snowy scenes with wide shipping tape (clear), oval frames and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Sample and instructions are in my gallery, if you can get there. But since the gallery is majorly out of order tonight, make an oval frame on a piece of colored CS a little smaller than your white card base. Use a decorative punch on the corners. Night of Navy or a dark green work well. Tear off a piece of packing tape large enough to cover the frame, lay the tape down sticky side up (if you don't have wide tape, slightly overlap two narrower pieces) and center the frame over the tape. Sprinkle glitter on it, tap it off and you have a snowy frame for whatever image you want to stamp on the card base, be it the church from Silent Night, trees out of Lovely as a Tree, or whatever. Adhere the frame to the base, and ta daaaaah!
