A muse less


I was in desperate mode to do a card for the weekly challenge on Ink Stains and then also a challenge for Karie's stamping group. Guess what neither one got done, I tried a funny fold that I had done before and it just was crabby. So I went blogging. I have found so many wonderful techniques by blogging and stampers are the nicest folks around! Gina K has a great tutorial for prisma colors and I emailed her with a thanks and she gave me another one to watch. Go to Google video and put in wood graining. Thanks again Gina! Her Prisma color one is out there too. I used that concept for my crayons. I found I love the look when I only use a little of the crayon and then blend it out. The depth and shading are much better. I would have never gotten this on my own.


Another technique I found when blogging was called tapestry. It is just sponging 4 colors on cardstock (white) range from light to dark starting with the light. Then stamping your main image on the card, Rub versamark all over the card, and then clear emboss. WOW! Love the look.
