Telescoping Cards Part 1

Here are the cards we made at Bel Air Baptist Church Creative Card Group for the Thursday class in September.

We tried the Telescoping technique. This is where you have 3 varied sizes of circles and place them on top of each other in size order. You use plain circles or scalloped, plain cardstock or designer series paper (dsp). You can even use square shapes.

With the main image, I have used the rock n roll technique.

There are many tutorials on the net. The one I found helpful was from Dawn Olchefske.

Inlaid technique (Part 2) meets baby wipe technique and printed petals

I just love this technique, it's such fun. Here is another variation of the technique using baby wipe technique. For this technique you use a baby wipe as your stamp pad and ink by adding drops of reinker to the baby wipe. I have stamped the image which matches the scallop circle punch from the "Printed Petals" stamp set and have used rich razzleberry, regal rose, rose red, tangerine tango, daffodil delight and pretty in pink stamped onto whisper white. I then have stamped on my layer of regal rose using the small flower from "Printed Petals" stamp set. The centre image is using the "for you" image from SAB punch bunch.
