CTMH Technique Blog Hop- A Bit of Blot

Welcome to CTMH blog hop. If you are coming from Belinda McLane blog then you are on the right track. This month we are trying the Blog technique.

I made two images using this technique. It took me a few minutes to figure out how much spray to add to the block, but once you know, you just can't stop creating. Note: please let you blocking dry before you stamp an image on top.

Project #1-

I blotted with two colors (Pixie # Z2644 & Sweet leaf #Z2153) and let it dry before stamping the image.

finished size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Next, I stamped the flower with thistle ink and for the stem i used the Pear ink. Liquid glass was added on the flower.

Project # 2-

I used crystal blue ink and glacier ink. I blog one color all around and filled the open spaces with the other color. This created a light and dark background for my sentiment stamp.

Stampers with an Attitude Taste of Summer Artwork

Welcome to the Stampers with an Attitude Blog Hop. If you are coming from  Catherine Nowak then you are on the right track. 

Our theme this month is National Scrapbooking Month Promotion - Taste of Summer. This paper packet has beautiful summer fruit prints with coordinating print on the backside. The colors are bright and happy. Come see what I did.  

For your Summer Parties!

Decorate your water bottles and add lemonade packets to sweeten their drinks.

They will love it!

Pick out your favorite print from your packet and cut a strip to cover bottle.

I used the  Honey Ink pad to stamp the lemons and added liquid Glass to give texture on the inside wedges.

Orange you Sweet

finished size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Add 3-D tape sentiment.

Cut 1"strips of different prints and cut the tops on a diagonal
as shown. I stamped the orange with Sunset Ink Pad and added liquid glass. While liquid glass is wet, I sprinkled orange sparkles to it. The colors are beautiful!

Finished size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
