 At this month's Tuesday Tea and Techniques we learned Ombre Resist.  
It is two techniques I combined for beautiful results.
On Shimmery White Cardstock, we embossed the snowflakes with clear embossing powder.
We then brayed Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss ink over the entire cardstock,
starting with the lighter ink on one end and working toward the darker ink.
We then used a slightly damp tissue to rub the ink off the embossed images
and to work the ink into the cardstock.

As much as I love how this card turned out,
I loved the time sipping tea and chatting with my stamping friends even more!

Join us for next month's class.

Tuesday Tea and Techniques

Tuesday the 10th is my next Tuesday Tea and Techniques class at 6:30.
Last month we learned the Shaving Cream Technique.
This pretty and fun technique is so easy, and 
the color combinations are limitless.  
In a tray or a styrofoam plate, spread out some shaving cream.
Drop several drops of reinkers from three different colors.
The colors I choose are coordinating, but they don't have to be.
With a skewer, swirl the ink slightly.
Press a sheet of cardstock onto the surface.  
Carefully lift up and wipe off ink and shaving cream.
You are left with incredible, unique patterns.  

This was our completed project using the new set
Lighthearted Leaves.

Join me next Tuesday for a new technique!
