December 2009 Technique Club

It's almost Christmas but we all found some time to get together and stamp.  The Technique Club is having loads of fun with new items each month.

 

One of our cards we did the Stencil with Shimmer Paint Technique.  Didn't this just turn out so elegant.  The Vintage Ornament I Stencils featured in the Definitely Decorative brochure can be used for more than decorating your home.  I used the small ornament and sponged it in with Rich Razzleberry and then used the decorative stencil over the top and sponged on some of the Platinum Shimmer Paint.   This was a super simple yet very elegant way to make a card.

 

 For another one our monthly techniques we did my favorite, Embossing.  We actually did two different types here one was the traditional heat set embossing with Craft Ink and Clear Embossing Powder the other was Dry Embossing using the ever to stunning Petals a Plenty embossing folder with the Big Shot.
