Water-coloring, color-pencilling or other skill-required coloring techniques are a bit beyond my reach. Luckily, Dave, Theresa and the other Design Teamers are great at that! Here's another version of my favorite quick, easy and always unpredictable spritzy background technique.
Vintage Dreams G1838, Dogwood Branch F1848, Distressed Garden Record G1848 and Wishing You Combo B1853 are the stamps featured here. The delicate accent is cut with the Valencia Border Die 98290. View the 2012 What's in the Box Collection here.
Several people have asked about Cuttlebugging with our intricate, detailed dies. I've removed my painters tape spot-shims from the dies and use the Memory Box Metal Adapter Plate instead - without any paper or cardstock shims either. Remember to place the Adapter Plate, die and cardstock behind the printed instructions on the A, B, and C plates - not flush w/ the edge that enters the machine. This allows the stack (others call it a sandwich, but that makes me hungry!) to feed into the machine easily, without using excessive force.
Just finished a huge stack of diecutting - prepping for tomorrow's Fun Fab Flowers class at the Tukwila Impress. We're making 7 tags with big poufy, loopy, scrunchy or layered flowers on them - perfect for any occasion.
