Technique Tuesday

Our latest Magical Memories Design Team assignment was to use one sheet of Technique Tuesday FUNdamentals. It's like chipboard, but "foam-ier" or something. I've been a fan of TT for a long time, and have used the FUNdamentals a couple of times, but mostly I've collected it. So armed with one sheet from FUNdamentals of Snow, and two new stamp sets from Jan, I had two ideas to start.

I wanted to use the biggest circle, with the fancy outer edge, for something different. All the examples using this made it to be a sun. I wanted something a little "classy" so I used it for this picture of Dave and I on our wedding day. I really wanted to see how embossing would work on these tiles, so I painted it black and embossed it sliver after stamping it with a circular swirl stamp. I embossed the outside of the black sparkle paper as well, and tore and embossed the sides of the vellum quote that was the verse that was said in our wedding ceremony. I tried stamping a flower and adding it, but I just didn't like the color of the flower with the stark white of the outfits.






Next, I wanted to use a picture I have of Greg floating in a pool with the two inner squiggly circles. Long story short, I abandoned that after a few days. So I used the smaller circle one for this, Jessa's first day playing outside. I used my Doodlebug flocking for the snowflakes, then TT No Two Alike mini stamps for the silver snowflakes. The blue snowflake border is from the Nature stamp set. I used a wavy border at the bottom and cut the bottom of the paper off. Kinda looks like a snowbank. Kinda. :)





Lastly, I had grabbed the straight border and the stamps that Jan gave us the first night I got it home and made the flower border, not sure if I was going to use it. I grabbed a piece of Fancy Pants, a picture of Sarah in her Snow White dress, and some stickles and ribbon, and put it together. For a quote, I just stamped on a scallop TT tile, and wrote my most profound thoughts. :)




I hope you have enjoyed my Technique Tuesday Layouts, I had a lot of fun doing them, and I will be doing a lot more stamping and maybe even some more embossing! Happy Scrapping!
