OMGosh! This is beautiful!! I am the same with Irene's blog and tips and tricks section. I'm just starting to try her techniques myself. Super-dooper great job and into my favs it goes!! TFS Good luck in the challenge.:)
Wow, Ok, I really thought I had commented here but I must have hallucinated! LOL Ok, you did such a fantastic job on this! I cannot believe all the work that went into this although it certainly shows all the beautiful touches you added, it just looks so effortless! Everything you do is just perfection! The masking and stamping - fantastic! Beautiful stunning work!
NINA!!! AMAZING!!! I totally love this card!! All the techniques are equally wonderful and I LOVE how you added the glitter to the unicorn!! WOW!! Terrific job!!!
Oh my gosh, this is just gorgeous. I can't believe how many different techniques you used on one card and yet they all went so well together. I think my favorite is the blue vellum heat embossed flower. It's faboo! Well, and the random gold embossing too. Ok, and the mountains are very clever.
This is for the "use a technique from Scrapperlicous" Irene. First of all I must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE visiting Irene's blog!! I simple have to have LOTS of time to sit there if I visit, because I just don't look, I absorb! :O)
OK... for my card I used many of Irene's techniques, some I have done before, actually on my own and a couple that I just love that I have tried here because of seeing Irene's elaborate scrappin which really is an art inself; I think! :O)
I started out by cutting out my oval and then stamping the words to the left of the oval.
Irene's technique's that I used were as followss:
1. I stamped a flourish on a transparency, then cut it out and then doodled with my white uni-ball pen on it.. I LOVE this with Irene's stuff. Then I placed it on pop dots to give dimension, another thing I love about Irene's work!
2. I heat embossed my flower on a light blue vellum and then doodled on that too. Added a pop dot to that; giving it more dimension.
3. I distressed the the edges of my paper with black ink and then used my scissors to rough it up a little.
4. I made a mask/templete of my purple mountains in the back ground and inked them 3 different times to get the dimension of moutains far away.
5. Although I didn't do the exact stitching technique that she just showed recently she does a lot of stitching on a lot of her projects and I just love it... so I used black and pink here and just alternated the colors with a simple cross stitch.
6. I am not sure if this is on her blog but I know she uses the gold embossing powder alot to kind of add to the distress/detail work... this I have done a lot of on my own stuff for a long time, but I soo love the look of it and added it to the sides of my card here. She also stamps and heat embosses a lot in silver and gold, especially on black and then cuts them out and then doodles on that.. you can hardly see it, but I stamped/gold heat embossed a branch of leaves and cut them out and added some white dots and then tucked it under the vellum flower (kind of under the butterfly on the far left)
7. I stamped the top border and then just doodled with my white and black pen. (not sure if that counts or not) LOL..
I know that these are all things that Irene does a lot in her work, now whether or not they are all in her techniques over there... ummm... I am sure some of them are anyway! :O)
Also, Irene uses a lot of non-traditional items on her lo's which I also love, the white and pink flowers were with some old lace my mom gave me. I added my butterflies which were stickers and I made them stand up more to add dimension too. I added the words which are stickers and the jewel. Added some stickles to my unicorn tail and mane and across the top of my card and in the certer of those white flowers in cotton candy. Then called it complete. my unicorn is also on pop-dots.
OK... I think that is it... thanks for looking and THANKS Irene for ALL your inspiration... will be by you blog soon! :O)
