MM162 - 'Camo' Technique

Today I tried a new stamping technique that I saw recently called the 'camo' effect!   You use ink and crinkling the cardstock to provide the 'look'!

It's a combo of these colours: Old Olive, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede and Early Espresso.

I used:

• "Wetlands" stamp set (w-126695,c-126697)
• "Thoughtful Banners" stamp set (ph-141614)
• Decorative Label punch (120907)
• mini brads

Enjoy your week and thanks for dropping in for "Manly Monday"!

MM157 - A serene moment....

Welcome to "Manly Monday"!  I've created a hopefully calming and loving sympathy card for my husband to send to his family in Australia on the death of a favourite Aunt.   So it's a bit of a twist on "Manly Monday" as the sender instead of the receiver.

I've used a 2-way mask technique to create the duck image and background swirl.  Can you see how??

I used:

• "Wetlands" stamp set (w-126695,c-126697)
• "Everything Eleanor" stamp set (w-131987,c-124164)
• Antique Brads (117273)
• Venetian Crochet Trim (134581)
• Going Places DSP stack (140581)
• Wink of Stella clear (141898)

Have a super week and thanks for starting it here!

MM127 - A turtle's birthday...

Welcome to "Manly Monday" and birthday wishes with the new set "From Land to Sea".

I just love colouring with my aqua painters!!  This week I'll have a video showcasing how to quickly watercolour with your ink and aqua painters without pilling the paper.

I also sponged ink over a piece of the Color Me Irresistible DSP which is pre-embossed.  

I used:

• "From Land to Sea" stamp set (w-138720,c-139361)
• "Wetlands" stamp set (w-126695,c-126697)

Tea bag folding ... Sunflower design!

Looking for something different to work on today I googled 'teabag folding' and found the Sunflower pattern that I've used on my card.

I just love how the 'points' of the petals stand up from the folding.  Each of the eight petals of a flower is made from a square piece of DSP.

I used:

• "Wetlands" stamp set
• "Kinda Eclectic" stamp set (w-135347,c-135350)
• Gold Soiree Specialty DSP (133697)
• Park Lane DSP (133694)
• 7/8" scallop circle punch (129404)
• pearls

Enjoy your day and try 'teabag' folding for a different effect on your next card/project!
