Hello and welcome to Guneaux Designs. Last Monday, Papertrey Ink’s challenge for “Make It Monday #333” involves the technique of layering patterns over stamped images. This is the card I created and submitted for the challenge.
Remember when the Heated Pearls Technique Using Pearl Ex Pigments was the trend? I remember the first time I used the technique. I was temporarily living in the Washington, D.C. area working on a contract for the Federal Government. I was thinking about becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and was experimenting with techniques. A demonstrator asked me to help her prepare cards that showcased various techniques for a card swap she was hosting. I agreed to help and was asked to use the Heated Pearls Technique. I enjoyed the technique but it can be messy; therefore, I rarely used it.
However, an opportunity to use the technique presented itself when I was serving as a “Dirty Girl” on Splitcoaststampers. The “Dirty Dozen” theme for the month of April was titled “Perfect Blend”. When the challenge was posted, I immediately thought of the Heated Pearls Technique using Pearl Ex Pigments. Therefore, I used the technique in response to the “Perfect Blend” challenge. This is the card I submitted but could not post it until now.
1 John 3:21-24
“Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.”
Hello! I am just sharing a card I made in May, and it features the Hero Arts MMH Kit May 2018. The kit is wonderful as it is about young children and their swings, bikes, kites, and animals. The kit is called “Tree of Life” because the primary products are related to trees. I used the kit to create this card.
Revelation 3:8-10
“I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars — I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.”
The blending colored pencil shavings technique is one that I have not tried before creating this beach scene card. I created the card for the Dirty Dozen Fan Club April Monthly Theme of “Perfect Blend”. It is a birthday card for my special grandson.
Romans 12:3
“For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.”
For the first time, I used the Tissue Paper Watercolor Technique last week on this beautiful card.
John 5:24
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.”
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Thanks for stopping by to see the card I created using the String Theory Technique. Have you ever tried this technique? I had not heard of it until it was posted on Splitcoaststampers as a Technique Lovers Challenge. It is an awesome and fun technique, and one that I could play with all day as different effects can be achieved.
Luke 1:34-37 (NIV)
” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a Virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.” “
