Happy Thursday, Groovy Groupies! Can you believe another week has come and gone? Wowza!

Before we get rolling this week, a couple of quick announcements! First, we have to say goodbye to SuperGroovy Tonya, who will be taking off her Super Woman cape for a while. Next, we are completely stoked that Guest Gurl Juanita Gillen is going to stay on in the Asylum permanently! You should be very excited too – getting to see her cool creations every week! Finally, just a reminder that you should *really* go scroll back through the last few challenges and check out the INCREDIBLE submissions from our super-Groovy readers! As far as I’m concerned, you can never have too much groovy eye-candy to gawk at! Go look!

For now, off we go on another groovy adventure through the blogs of our fantabulous Groovy Gurlz!

Ready, set – HOP!

This week we have another wonderful photo inspiration piece from Tonya! Check this out~

Happy Thursday, Groovy Groupies! Ready for a new challenge and some more amazing artwork from the Gurlz? Let’s go!

This week, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a bookmark. Easy peasy – but the twist is to slap on some hardware! Any hardware will do – the more creative, the better!

Show us what you got! In the meantime, here are some incredible samples from the Groovy Gurlz! Is this group not just CRAZY talented?!!

SISC9 ~ Create Your Own Background! And a BONUS Tweaked Technique!

Beth — Thu, 13 May 2010 06:09:00 +0000

Happy Thursday, Groovy Groupies! Got lots of fun stuff for you this week! First, we have some new releases, one that should remind you of a certain love triangle… or not! It is called What The Heart Wants. And another set of immortally inspired rubber sentiments! If you liked Otherworldly Loves, you will completely dig Simply Supernatural!

PLUS – we have a special Tweaked Technique from published art author, Roni Johnson! You can find other fabulous techniques on her blog, Ink Stains, or in her book! Be sure to check out her site for more info!!

NOW! On with the Tweaking… This is a tweak on the shaving cream technique, and it presents all sorts of insanely cool possibilities for texture and pattern! Give it a try – we CAN’T WAIT to see what you come up with!

Mousse Me! Supplies:

Mousse * Dye Reinker * White Cardstock * Heat Tool or Embossing Gun * Gloves (optional) * Scraper, Craft Spatula, Popsicle Stick (optional)

Instructions:

Spread a layer of mousse over your cardstock.

Add one drop of ink to the mousse. Spread around in circular motions with your fingers, scrapper, craft spatula, popsicle stick, etc. Don’t over blend.

Melt the mousse with a heat tool. You will notice as the mousse begins to melt the ink will be absorbed into the cardstock in some really cool patterns.

Repeat with 2^nd and 3^rd color(s) if desired.

Soooo… This week we are challenging you to try out the Mousse Me technique, (or another technique you choose to share!), and create your own background! It is so easy to get wrapped up in designing around your paper – make your paper fit your design!! We can’t wait to see what you come up with! Here are the Groovies with their amazing-as-always projects!
