Dragging Technique

I recently learned of this dragging technique, and it is so much fun! You literally drag the  edge of an ink pad across the surface of glossy card stock. I drug Old Olive first, then Bermuda Bay right over the top. Sometimes I drug it straight across, sometimes I wiggled it a bit to get a swirly pattern. I also drug a couple layers of the Bermuda Bay, to get it to be a bit more prominent.

I have two cards to share with you today. The background on the Christmas card is a emboss resist. I stamped the stars in Versamark and clear embossed. Then I sponged Night of Navy over top for the night sky. I cut a window out, then adhered the Bethlehem town on to a piece of  Pool Party. That was then adhered to the back of the background piece. The ribbons are leftovers from SALE-A-BRA-TION. Any glittery ribbon would be pretty.
I colored the flowers with Copic markers. But GUESS WHAT???? Stampin' Up! has developed some new alcohol ink markers! They will be available soon. Demos are currently providing further product testing before they are released. They are half the price of Copics and the color blending system is much easier for stampers.

Tesla stood like this intently studying something for several moments. When I walked over to see what she was studying I found it was an anole sunning himself on the deck. Tesla looked at me as if to say "Mom, I can get it just let me out."

Candle Screens

These flameless candle screens are very easy to make and are a great thing to use in your home decor for the holidays or to give as a gift.

For the Halloween screen, I used the gate diecut on two sides and stamped images on the other two sides. For the Christmas screen, I used the Bethlehem village scapes on all four sides.
  1. Cut two pieces of cardstock measuring 4 x 8-1/2 inches, then score at 4" and 1/2"
  2. Use Layering Circles Thinlits to cut out circles in each of the 4 panels
  3. Cut 4 pieces of vellum 3-3/4 x 3-3/4 inches and adhere on the inside of each circle cut out
  4. Adhere Detailed Gate Thinlit, or Bethlehem town strips over the vellum.
  5. Fold all score lines and adhere the 1/2 inch strip at the ends to form a box.
