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

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:

1. Spread a layer of mousse over your cardstock.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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!

TTIC #4 ~ Twilight Tuesday, Hooray!

It’s Twilight Tuesday again! That means another card inspired by Stephenie Meyer’s gift to vamp lovers everywhere ~ the Twilight saga!

This week, we were to be inspired by my girl, Alice Cullen! This girl rocks out loud. I absolutely LOVE Alice! And, for the record, I think that whoever is responsible for casting Ashley Greene in the movie deserves some massively cool award. She is perfect. (Isn’t Jas just adorable in that picure, too?!)

So, we know Alice can see into the future, once decisions have been made, et al. She is considered to be especially talented among the vamps in Meyerland. She oozes haute couture style (even rocking it in rural Washington state!) and is a girl who can seriously kick some ass when need be! She is loyal, and has an awesome way of relating to her family and friends. You can always rely on Alice, and she takes that very seriously. She just rocks… have I said that yet? So here is what I came up with with, with Alice in mind:

The lovely Eve sent me this photo after I spent a whole email gushing about Alice’s awesomeness and the fabulous casting of AG ~ look at those Topaz eyes! Awesome picture! (Thanks for sharing it, Eve!)

What ability would you have?

If I could choose a supernatural ability, I would totally opt for the ability to alter time. I would like to be able to go back and revisit, and go forward to see what’s up. Particularly, on the heels of reading Twilight, I would love to go back and revisit high school ~ I would remind myself that HS is one of the greatest times in life, and that failing my driving test the first time (WHAT?!) wasn’t really the end of the world… Is there a character on Heroes for that? Plus, I would really like to jump ahead a few years and see what the new Prez will do… or jump ahead about a month to the TWILIGHT opening!

Check out these awesome submissions for the challenge, too:
