~ Getting Personal ~
June 6th, 2010 by Holly McMillen
Hello friends!
I’m pretty sure that my fingers may fall off before I finish typing up this post. I spent over 6 hours in the studio today. Stamp, cut, glue, fold…. I wish I could share the project with you, but it’s a surprise (for Tuesday’s blog hop). Oh, what the heck… I’ll give you a tease :).
Ok, one to other things….
This week’s Technique Challenge is a bit different. I’m calling it “Getting Personal”. The object is twofold. First, we are to create a card/project that is personal (i.e. uses a person’s name, a picture, school colors, etc.) and the second part is to choose your favorite technique to showcase in your card/project.
Since Father’s Day is just around the corner, I decided to make my card a personal tribute to my hubster. The image is one of the pictures I took a couple months ago for a scrapbook layout. I had these really cool 7 gypsies film sheets that fit perfectly over the image. I stamped the sentiment right on to that.
My technique is faux stone. It is simply a piece of riding hood red card stock embossed with the mosaic embossing folder, then clear embossed.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: There She Goes’ Dadisms (sentiment)
Colors: Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Creamy Caramel, GP White, dp
Ink: Versamark, Versafine Black Onyx
Accessories: Jute, wood stars, metallic red brads, mosaic embossing folder, utee, border punch, piercing
