Wash It Down! Take Ten

November 30th, 2008

I got a second article published in Take Ten!  This article features cards all made with Ranger’s Color Wash.  The technique is very easy!  FIrst, I squirt a piece of white cardstock with water.  Then, I spritz some colors of Color Wash onto the wet paper.  Next,  I use an iron to dry the color into the paper.

The colors are vibrant, beautiful and different every time.  I made these 5 cards last July and am thrilled to have another article with Stampington!    A lot of the stamps used are Inkadinkado.  Check out their swirls and birds at www.inkadinkado.com.  Go to www.rangerink.com for Color Wash inks and more!

 
Wash it Down pg 1

 

 

 

   These cards are very fun and easy to make.  If you look closely,  all five cards have two things in common:

1.  The papers were all made with Color Wash

2.  All the cards have a piece of green with white polka dots in them somewhere. 

When I sent them all in to Stamper’s Sampler, I wrapped them in such a way that the front of the package queried, “All 5 cards have two things in common- one technique and one material.  Can you figure out what they are??” 

I figure everyone loves a good riddle!  :)

November 30th, 2008

It’s almost time for my Christmas card and I’m just getting up my Halloween one!  Oh well, that’s what happens when you work full time, part time, and are going to college!   The Halloween card was a big hit-especially with my Mom. She said it’s her favorite card ever!!!  I told her, just wait for Christmas!!

Inkadinkado makes some GREAT Halloween images.  Make sure to check them out at www.inkadinkado.com

This year for Halloween I only made about 25 cards,  If you didn’t get one, just know I did my best!!  Hope your Halloween was fun and spooky!
