Shaving Cream Technique

At convention I participated in a Technique Swap.  Everyone was to make a sample of their technique, attach it to a 6" x 6" scrapbook page, with printed directions for the technique.  This swap helped me remember how fun techniques can be.  I decided to start offering a Technique Night once a month.  We learn two technique, and make sheets similar to those that were made for the swap.  We also make two cards for each technique.  

Last night was Technique Night.  We learned the Shaving Cream Technique, and the Faux Mother of Pearl.  Today I will share the shaving cream projects.  Come back tomorrow to see the Mother of Pearl.


This is our technique sheet.  I love the color scheme here.  I used the Color Coach to choose it.  The choices on the actual color coach usually don't look that appealing to me, but I am always pleasantly surprised at the outcome. 


We make one card that is quite similar to the technique sheet.  I'll be so sad when Midnight Muse retires in May, it is such a great color!  


This was our second card.  I was going for a manly kind of card.

Be sure to come back tomorrow to and check out the Faux Mother of Pearl technique samples.  
Have a great day!

Hello from California

By the time you are reading this - I'll be just getting ready to land in San Jose for a long over due visit with my California best friend.  I am lucky enough to have besties in a few different states.  It has been way too long since I have seen this friend - so I am SUPER excited!


Today, I thought I would share Tammy's birthday card with you.  You may remember my gushy message about her birthday being this last Saturday.  This is the card  I created for her.  This was my first time using the Swallowtail available in the spring mini.  Oh. My. Gosh.  Hello, new favorite.  :)  The colors for this card are Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant, and Baja Breeze.  This is one of the "sweet set" color combinations available at a moments notice with the Color Coach.  I stamped the butterfly onto whisper white cardstock and cut it out.  I then cut out another piece of cardstock the same size, and embossed it with the Cloudy Day folder from the spring catalog.  I love the look of the butterfly over the clouds.

I hope Monday is nice to you!
