Speedy TV Tutorial Time Challenge 40

Forgot my post for today. Don't know what I was thinking but better late than never,. This week at Speedy TV the tutorial is for a cute snack topper. Click on Tutorial Time and then on Challenge 40.  Here's mine. This is really fast to make. I love lemon heads.

Seed Packets

This is my sneak peak for the set called Seed Packets. I've used a scrap technique to make the background. There are 4 of the stamps used here and they were stamped with Versafine Onyx Balck. You get a real dark black stamping with Versafine but can't use Copics but I also have Tombows and they work fine with this ink.

Glad Glads

I've used a stencil to make my background sponging pretty yellow ink. Looks like summer.  I then stamped the Glads and colored with markers.  Check out the blog hop next week for the rest of the set.

Spring Things

 Ready for Spring??  We don't grow tulips down here in Florida except for in pots. I had a yard full up in Ohio and looked forward to their blooming. Check out the blog hop next week for the bunny that goes with this set. He is so cute.

Don't ask me how old I am but I can tell you my oldest son always told me I rode a dinosaur to school. I assure you I didn't. I walked. It's not only my birthday today.

So go HERE and follow the link to the tutorial called Doubly Embossed. Enjoy.

A Smooshing technique

Hi Ladies. This is one of those messy techniques so get ready to smoosh. The fingers will get inky. You will need white acrylic paint ( I didn't have any so I used my Pearl Dabber ), a spray bottle with water, Water color paper and dye reindeers. Everyone you make will be different.

Squirt out a quarter sized blob of whit paint and 3 drops of 3 different dye reindeers on your craft sheet or other work area. 

Spray with water

Pull your paper through it. Keep going back until it is covered. 

Here is mine. 

  Use another piece of water color paper to pick up what is left. Add more paint and ink and water as needed. You can make quite a few pieces.  Now go away and let them dry over night. The paint adds texture.

Here's my card. 

Tutorial Time on Speedy TV 38
