Banners!

Hey there Bloggers! Hope you are all doing well and had a good weekend.

I heard some sad news for the industry last week.... Creative Memories parent company has filed for Chapter 11. This is apparently the second time in five years. It is too bad when scrapbooking companies are unable to sustain themselves. There has also been a merger within the scrapbooking world recently too with Tonic Studios and Purple Cows.

And in other news.... Stampin' Up! will be announcing the 2013 retired list on April 24. So if you don't receive my emails, make sure that you sign up so that you can receive a copy of the list as soon as it is released. And don't forget that these items will sell out very quickly so place your orders immediately.

Today's project is a card that we made for Stamper's Club last week. We used the new Designer Typeset Photopolymer stamp set. The card we made was actually CASE'D from Jenny

Water Dribble Technique

Spring is the time for new beginnings...and I am hoping that this year will be no exception. I am very much interested in new opportunities this year. Now...for the spring part...if only that were true...it has been miserable here for the last few days and it's not looking much better for the rest of the week.

So today's technique share is a technique that I presented to my Stamper's Club last month. It is called a Water Dribble technique and it's such a simple way to create a cool background.

Take a piece of cardstock and sprinkle water from your fingers onto it. Then take a very large clear block and brayer ink all over it. Place your water dribbled cardstock upside down onto the clear block and brayer over the back of it to ink it. And voila! The original technique can be found here.

So here is my card....
