Top 10 Countdown... Part 2..

As promised, heres the last 5 projects...

Number 5.

Really two techniques here or even three! : 1) Two-step stamping. 2) Decoupage (cutting out and sticking back on!) 3) Paper Piercing - Ideal for a simple border.

Number 4.
Bling!!

Number 3.

Watercolouring. This was all done with the SU! Markers and a watercolour brush pen...

Number 2.
Not really a technique but an essential in my book... A sense of humour. The story behind this was... I was completing a challenge on ILWS, the category was 'Anything Goes'. The Mod (Rachel) stated 'Anything, as long as its not Santa doing the Hula'. Well I had to... Didnt I?

Number 1.
The technique is to use stamps another way... (Roses at Christmas?) I wasnt too sure of this after I made it but got some lovely comments and it has now become my favourite card of the year... Unfortunately I posted it to a lovely lady for Christmas and will have to make another one to keep for myself!!!

I hope you have enjoyed my top 10 list. I feel like a DJ! (Now then, Now then Pop-Pickers!!!) PLEASE leave some comments and tell me your fave techniques and projects. I may even feature your picks in upcoming posts...

Wishing you all A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2010.

Thanks for visiting, TTFN!

Top 10 Countdown, Part 1...

Well, I thought I would do a countdown of my favourite cards & techniques from last years blog posts. Heres part 1... (10 thru 6)

Number 10.
Shaped cards... I love to do these when I have the time...

Number 9.
3d projects, boxes, bags n stuff. Makes a gift really special...

Number 8.
Layering. I loved doing this card for Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. It was so simple to just layer and collage the papers. I like the effect. Definately one I will use again.

Number 7.
Sponging. I have now got a set of SU! Sponges and I have to say its soooo much easier now... Right tools for the right job!!

Number 6.
Not the box, but the flowers! Gorgeous! Mental note... MAKE MORE OF THESE!...

Tomorrow I will finish my top 10 faves of the year so come back soon!!!
