August Club Cards

After being "off the air" for ten months, my blog is revived! Hopefully, I'll keep up with it better than I have! We had a fun kick off for the new year last month, so now it's time to hit the ground running.

The first card highlights the watercolor technique. I used watercolor paper and Stayz On ink to prevent the colored inks from running. I still need to practice with this technique and get better at shading. I CASEd this from SCS.

The second cards shows off a new technique I've learned - Faux Pearl. I think it turned out pretty good. I used Frost White Shimmer paint to achieve the "pearly" look in the flower.

Tuesday's With Morley - October Scrapbook

Fall is definitely in the air! I love the crisp mornings we've having lately.

For the October scrapbook, we'll do a Halloween layout. I used a new item to SU! - the Big Shot Mulitpurpose Adhesive Sheets. This is a great way to add adhesive to an element. You apply the base material (cardstock) to the adhesive sheet, run it through the Big Shot, and then peel off the remaining backing! It's especially good for items that are delicate in nature and hard to apply regular adhesive.

I also used some old DS paper - Ghostly Greetings - from a couple of years ago. It felt good to be able to use up some of my stock of paper!

Have I mentioned that I love the new catalog! I'm really digging the In Colors this year!

We will be doing Thank You cards this month.

The first is a masculine card. It's really hard for me to do masculine stuff - probably because most of the stamps I own contain hearts and flowers! Special thanks to Mary Alice for loaning me her manly stamp sets!
