techniques...

....have never really been my thing.. 

i'm more of a die-cut and 3D embellisher (maybe that's why i like mini's so much!) 

but when i was over at a friends craft room she was showing me some of her favorites.. 

and i started to understand why some scrappers like it so much..

this is what i created:

distressed tags with vintage images and pictures

alcohol ink samples

a mini stamped 1 sheet paper "book"

some random die-cuts

scanned & printed on colored card stock

water stamping

not sure i like the process of this so much.. 

it makes quite the mess

but i love... LOVE the final look of it!! 

which of course makes it worth it!

more water stamping

ya know when you have one of those days 

you just can't get a project done or you don't feel like scrapping.. 

that's the perfect time to make a couple of techniques to have for a later project! just think how much faster you could complete a project!... to have finished sampled techniques to work with all ready!

lord knows i can't wait to use all these on some projects!
