Tires Or Testicles

I did a watercolor wash and stamped the little truck twice and cut off the box to lift it up, layered that over the Roxs and popped it up. Added a stamped border and done! I hope the verse isn't too offensive but I got a laugh from it....

Coffee Ground Backgrounds Technique

Ever wonder what all that coffee is doing to you??

Well let me show you what you can do to that coffee!!

Lay 2 pieces of white cardsotck on the bottom of container and mix 

2 to 3 TB of coffee crystals and 1 cup hot water, then pour mix

over the top of your cardstock, pressing down until covered.

Remove one piece and lay on paper towel.

Sprinkle some coffee crystals on top and cover with other piece

and let set for 15 minutes.  Then remove top piece and allow to dry before removing

excess crystals.

I have scanned my card made with some of this paper (using stamps by 

Art Impressions and Rubbernecker)

as well as 2 samples of "coffee paper".

The darker sample on the bottom was done with 3 TB coffee and the lighter sample above was done with 2 TB,  If you wanted more of a coffee "wash" you could try this using only 1 TB coffee crystals.

Halloween House Technique

Some inks, a sponge or brayer, some glossy paper and a white crayon are

all you need for today's card fun!

I stamped the house image (by Rubbernecker)

and then colored with a white crayon only those places I did NOT

want colored.

Then I used a sponge to color the scene and markers for the finer parts.

Then buffed the picture when dry to remove ink from atop the crayon.

I wanted a sort of aura around the house and got it.

Below is another one I did with a little more vigorous crayon used:

This one uses an image by Stampfolk

and the color was brayered on.
