Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2014 - June

I'm doing pretty well this month, this isn't even last minute! ;-) This month Tim showed us a really fun technique for using stencils and Distress ink to make a watercolor looking background. You can see all the details HERE. I've been using this technique quite a bit lately. It's easy and a great twist to using your stencil collection a little differently.

Happy Father's Day!

I am very happy to honor my Dad today and the other men in my life. I am so thankful to be blessed with my family - they really are the best! Here is the card I made for my Dad:



This is also the project I did for the fourth Compendium of Curiosities vol. 3 challenge. If you haven't heard about the fun going on over at Studio L3 you are missing out! This fourth challenge is all about Layering Stencils and Texture Paste as found on page 49 of the book. I can't share the technique here, you need to see the book. ;-)

Happy Father's Day!!
