Technique Tuesday-Legendary Ride

Hello there! I'm here today with a Technique Tuesday. I'm going to show you how I got this multi-colored motorcycle image using our Stampin' Write Markers and the Stamparatus. I've been having quite a bit of fun playing with the Legendary Ride set. I'm excited to have several masculine birthday cards in my stash now. 

Dimensions for this card are:

• Card Base: 8 1/3 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Designer Series Paper: 2 1/4 x 5 1/2
• Front Silver Panel: 3/4 x 5 1/2
• Inside White Panel: 4 x 5 1/4
• Inside Silver Panel 1/4 x 5 1/2

I hope you have enjoyed today's post. If you decide to place an order through my website, if your order is less than $150, please use the Host Code listed above (on the right), so I can send you an extra free goody. If your order is over $150 don't use the code as you get to pick out the goody yourself when you place your order. 

Till next time...

God's love and blessings!

Technique Tuesday-Acrylic Watercolor Background

Hello there! Welcome to Crafted In His Image. Life has been a crazy up and down the last couple of weeks, but I'm back with a simple and fun technique for you today.

Watercolor seems to be very popular right now, especially at Stampin' Up!, so I thought I'd share a fun technique that will give you a watercolor background in just a couple of steps. It is the perfect backdrop for your stamps.

I employed my 10 year old to help with the video this time. We may have had too much fun doing this. I think she enjoys my bloopers a little too much. :o) This was our 7th or 8th try with a whole lot of giggling going on in between. :o)

Please leave me a note and let me know what you think and whether there's something you are interested in learning.

Till next time...
God's love and blessings!

PS. You can sign up for my April Tips, Tools and Technique class if you'd like to make this for yourself, along with 3 other fun projects. You can check out my Events page for more info.

Technique Tuesday-Watercolor Markers

Hello there, and welcome to my first episode of Technique Tuesday. I even tried doing my first ever video tutorial. The hardest part...figuring out how to get the camera in the right place so that it would see the project and not the top of my head-oh, and not saying "and" a bazillion times. ;o)

I thought I would start Technique Tuesday with a simple technique I learned as a new Stampin' Up! demonstrator several years ago called Watercolor Markers. Anyway, here's my little tutorial. Please comment and let me know what you think.

I realized too late that I should have either zoomed in so you could see the project better, or hold up the finished ones to the camera, but after all the work it took to upload this, I don't really want to re-do it. I'll have to remember that for next time. Here's a close-up photo of the technique done on the two different papers. The left is Whisper White cardstock, the right is watercolor paper.

And here's the finished card.

I mention in the tutorial that you can get the In Color markers for free till the end of this month (March 2014). You can check out all the details for that at the Paper Pumpkin website.

Here's a list of the products I used:
Whisper White Cardstock
Stampin' Write Markers
Aqua Painters
Watercolor Paper
Simply Sketched Stamp Set (You can earn this set for free by hostessing a workshop.)

Whew! I did it! Not sure if I will do a video tutorial every week as it took over an hour to upload this 4 minute video to youtube, but I will do my best to continue Technique Tuesday, it just may be in photos instead of video. :o)

Till next time...
God's love and blessings!
