Try Something New!

Hello and Welcome Crafty Friend!

Saturday, my group was faced with a fun challenge, to step outside of their comfort zone!

I told them to try something new, and to Pick one or more of the following:

*Try a new technique. Rock-n-Roll stamping.

*Try ink smooshing <-- it's a word (kind of) LOL 

*Use up that paper that you have been hoarding for 5 years or more. 

*Try a color combo that you love, but you're scared to tackle.

Here was my finished card after tackling rock n roll stamping, ink smooshing, and using up some paper I had been hoarding. 

I gave my group pictorials for both techniques so they could practice ink smooshing and rock n roll stamping. 

I added a boarder of stamped hearts in peacock ink. 

The vellum paper adds a soften look to that busy (my favorite) floral pattern paper. 

Both papers were cut using the stirched hexagon thin cuts. 

Check how cute the rock n roll stamping turned out on the heart! 

Don't miss that ink smooshingnon the bears. I showed my grouo 2 different ways of ink smooshing! 

My bears and heart come from the stamp set Teddy Bear Hugs

I finished my bears and heart if with a some shimmer! Which picked up really well in these pictures! 🌟

I can't wait to see what they come up with! 

I hope I have inspired you to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new! 

Have fun and happy  crafting!
