Easy, Fun Techniques to try on your next card or layout:

On the "Say Cheese" card I cut out the middle of the lens and popped it up using 3D foam tape and then I added a black sequin to make it pop out.

On the "Look How You Shine" card I created my own background paper by stamping using the stars from our NEW Great Job stamp set using our fantastic White Daisy pigment ink pad.

For my double page layout, I used a direct to paper technique using our White Daisy pigment ink pad. I love the look of it - it looks like chalkboard!

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Kristine of Home with Studio K.
