Good afternoon on the 2nd and almost TSFT. I am scheduling the next two weeks blog posts, because I will be away from my computer, so we will see how that works!
We will do the Second on the 2nd first. I will show you a post for the second time and on the second. Something fun that Elizabeth hosts over at Altered Book Lover. It is always fun to see a post from the past! :)
So in case you missed it here is a post I did on the Magical Masking Tape Technique from June 2013.

Magical Masking Tape Technique
I have found another great technique! All you need are ink pads and masking tape. On this card I used SU! inks: More Mustard, Crushed Curry and So Saffron. You tear off strips of masking tape and ink them up on the pad, and then put the tape on the card, and then lift off. It is a wonderful color effect for a background! I did that with three strips. You could do a background on the whole card doing this. Here is a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. On this card I used SU! Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. I also colored directly on the stamp with markers before stamping it, so I could do the leaves with Old Olive and the trunk with Chocolate Chip, also SU! I hope you try this technique, so easy! Have a great week-end!
I attended a few celebrations this week. One was to surprise a friend for her 65th! I loved the purple decorations!

| I didn't realize this was so blurry. Sorry, but wanted to show the purple and the flowers. |
 |
| I saved two napkins for crafting! LOL |
 |
| We drank water rather than the lemonade. |
 |
| The cake was delicious. I had white, and hubby had the strawberry. |
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!
What a beautiful and fun post. I love the purple decorations and the gold and white one for the 60th anniversary. Love the card you made, too. Happy T Day, have a great break, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHave fun while you are away from your computer. Did you suffer from the tornado on Friday? I hope not. It was a lot closer to you than me.
ReplyDeleteDo you need glossy cardstock to create that tape technique? It would work great for journal pages, too. I like the subtle, yet lovely results. Yes, I checked out the tutorial. Thanks for sharing this really clever and informative technique with us for your second look on the 2nd, dear.
You had a very, very busy week. Lots of parties. Sounds like you and your husband both had fun. Glad you saved those napkins, too.
Actually, the lemonade sounds good, but I know you like water. I just fret when I see all that plastic sitting on a table (grin). Thanks for sharing your cards (both) and your drinks with us for T this week, dear Sharon.
Hi Sharon, you have been busy-both celebrations were decorated beautifully and I loved the card you made too. enjoy your time off hugs Happy T
ReplyDeleteThose look like great celebrations, cake and all! I would drink the lemonade, myself.
