I chose background paper that coordinated with the Copic colors I chose.  Narrow ribbon wrapping and layers complete the card.

Just Have Fun!!

This card was created with the Technique Junkies stamp Putting On Lipstick - www.techniquejunkies.com/putting-on-lipstick/.  I stamped it with Versafine black ink and heat embossed it.  The image is colored with Twinkling H2Os.

I created the background with a new product to me called Brusho - which are highly pigmented powders you sprinkle on and then mist with water.   I heat set the wet water color card stock, and did it again in areas where I wanted more pigment.  I purchased some recently at Stamp Fest in Florida.  I added some layers and pearls and rhinestones embellishments.

Hope, Love, and Faith

To create this card using a February release called Faith, Hope, and Love - www.techniquejunkies.com/faith-hope-and-love-background/, I first created a background paper to stamp on.  I used an alcohol ink technique I learned from Jennifer McQuire.   She used a glass pan with some water in it, and then squirted a few colors of alcohol inks on the surface of the water. Then you just dip card stock in the water and pull it out quickly.  You get interesting designs on your card stock. No piece of car stock will be the same.   You can start fresh each time, or just reuse the water and squirt a few more drops of alcohol ink in the water.  

And here is a tip: either use tweezers, or gloves to protect your hands or you will get some ink on your hands.  But if that happens use some hand sanitizer right away to clean your hands.  Most of the alcohol ink will come off before you wash your hands.

I then painted a few places of interest with Twinkling H2Os.   I added a greeting from the Faith, Hope, Love set - www.techniquejunkies.com/faith-hope-love-set-of-7/.  And did you know you can bundle both sets and save some money? http://techniquejunkies.com/faith-hope-love-bundle/

And speaking of saving money -- if you use the code TJ10Judy you can save 10% even on this bundle!!

Have a great day - and get inky!!

And now for my cards to share with you.  My very first card uses the new Technique Junkies stamp Keep Chickens -  

www.techniquejunkies.com/keep-chickens-set-of-13/.  There are so many fun images!  All images are colored with Copic markers, One chicken is peaking out from behind a piece of background paper wrapped in linen thread.   The dots are created with Art Nuvo Crystal Drops.

My next card uses the new Technique Junkie stamp called Something Different - www.techniquejunkies.com/something-different/.  I used my MISTI - http://techniquejunkies.com/misti-most-incredible-stamping-tool-invented/   -  to be sure the image was stamped nice and dark because I used watercolor paper.  Then I heat embossed it with detail black embossing powder. Then I used water color inks and let it run.  I then water colored the butterfly.  Stick-on embellishments and layering finish the card. 

My last card for you today is created with this new Technique Junkies stamp called Why Fit In - www.techniquejunkies.com/why-fit-in/.    I stamped this google wearing giraffe with brown pigment ink and clear embossed it.  Then I used yellow water color to paint the rest of the giraffe.  I sponged the sky a pale blue and then  used just a small portion of the Technique Junkies stamp - Wasted - http://techniquejunkies.com/wasted/  

to add some additional dimension to the background.  I tied a small bow with several loops of linen thread, and created some loops from linen thread to add behind the giraffe panel.  It is all layered on a piece of background paper.
