Dec Technqiue Tues Classes: Sunsets & Houses

This month featured some fun techniques that were shared by a couple fellow demonstrators.

This first card features a technique called Glowing Sunset, shared by LeeAnn Greff.   It also features another technique...masking.  We masked off the "snowy" area.  Then using Stampin' Sponges (cut into wedges), So Saffron, Cameo Coral & Bashful Blue ink were sponged onto the card (in that order).  Note:  It takes a light touch with the sponging.

Other Supplies:  Scenic Season stamp set, Bashful Blue, Eggplant Envy and Whisper White Cardstock, Eggplant Envy, So Sffron, Cameo Coral & Bashful Blue Classic Ink, Silver Brads

Let It Snow Banner with the Big Shot

Last year I had Terri Gaines as a guest presenter at my DOstamperSUPERSTARS Downline acheivement event.  She did this project:  LOVE banner. 

I had mentioned that I fell in love with her "Let it Snow" banner. Someone just asked if I had a picture of it...and I do. 

Terri used the following Big Shot Dies:
Scallop Circle (#113468) - White Adhesive Backed Fun Foam
Snowflake #2 (#113460) - White Adhesive Backed Fun Foam
Serif Essentials Alphabet (#113464) - Bashful Blue cardstock

It's kinda hard to see in the picture, but she added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to each piece and threaded it all together with silver cording. 

Isn't it awesome?!  Thanks Terri for sharing your creativity!!

Enjoy~Dawn O
