MOTHER NATURE'S BOX OF CRAYONS

Hello Technique Junkies Stamps peeps!!!!  

I've got a super cool card for you today using the incredible background "Old Wall" from the September 2018 release and a stamp set from last year called "Autumn Set of 6" from last September's release .  

All these stamps and every stamp in the TJ store  (as well as any Shimmering Bliss sprays and Bundles) can be yours with a 10% discount on your entire stamp order.  Just use my discount code TJ10Cheri.  



I absolutely love the Shimmering Bliss sprays and I used them to create the blended colors on these leaves.  Oh my, my....these sprays blend like buttah...and the results are gorgeous!  I sprayed watercolor paper with a blend of Shimmering Bliss Sprays.  I let them dry and then stamped the leaves on those sprayed panels with Archival Potting Soil brown ink.  I fussy cut them and set them aside.  

The background was created on another watercolor paper panel.  I stamped the fabulous "Old Wall" stamp in "Watering Can" Archival Ink and then over stamped it with "Fired Brick" Distress Oxide Ink in various areas (not the entire surface of the stamp).  I used a aqua brush to blend the DOI over the panel to color the bricks.  

Copper colored embossing powder was used to added the sentiment to a vellumn die cut and placed on the "wall".  The same copper ep was used to frame the "Old Wall" image by adding VersaMark Ink and the ep to the edge of a brown card panel and heat embossing.  There's a lot of texture and dimension to this card.  

FYI....there's a new monthly Technique Junkies Challenge posted.....you could win some TJ Stamps if you join in....check it out.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you've been inspired to create.
