Fall Blessings Video Tutorial

This week has been a very trying week in the stamping studio.  Some of you may know that Karen (our computer girl/office manager) was having surgery. What we did not expect was that it could be bumped up 6 weeks early.  Karen is doing well and we are surviving without her for now….Here are a few of the projects that Andrea and I came up with this week. 

 

Fall Blessings

Last week I resurrected an older technique – the spotlighting technique.  I had so much fun creating that card, that I decided to re-visit another technique I hadn’t done in a while…the kissing technique was an old favorite of mine.  The leaf images for this card were first kissed with a script background stamp and then stamped onto Vanilla CS.  This is a great technique for adding more texture to your solid image stamps.
