So Suzy Christmas Baubles

Hi Everyone, I am up on the So Suzy blog today with a card I made with those fabulous little baubles from the  November release ! My  So Suzy stamp supplies : So, how did I make this card?

I then took the baubles and inked them in a lighter color  and spritzed with water or just spritzed them with water to get kind of a ghosting technique.

Shopping Our Stash Challenge 280

Hi Everyone, This is my fifth and last week as Guest Designer over at  Shopping Our Stash  - in case you don't know its a weekly challenge, where you are supposed to use something in your stash - preferably something neglected ;) This weeks challenge is  Paper Strip Art - Use the Bargello Technique on your card or project. Now this is something I would normally avoid.... I have this aversion to use patterned paper, although my stash is quite impressive.....not sure why I ever buy any.... So I procrastinated a bit about this and then I finally made my card and here it is: Again, I avoided patterned paper - oh well, it was not meant to be.... If you want to learn abo ut the B argello technique click HERE . Just gonna tell you - you need a lot of adhesive and you can not make this in 5 minutes... The sentiment is by  Simon Says Eager to try this? The challenge runs until Midnight December 5th - come and play along! Happy Stamping!
