Technique Junkies January 2021 Release Celebration

It's time for the Technique Junkies January 2021Release Celebration.  We have an amazing array of images this release.  I have had fun making cards with these new release stamps, and I know you will, too!

I have two cards to share with you today.

Card One - Winter In Paris Scene

I adore this wintery Paris scene.  The style is fresh and inviting.  I chose cool greens and blues, with touches of gold to give my scene it's personality and whimsy.

Paris Winter Watercolors

Fancy Paris

How I made my card:

• On watercolor paper, I stamped the Paris Winter Watercolors scene with permanent black ink.  
• I water colored the image with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors, and gold FineTec watercolor pigments
• I used the gold paint for the lights and windows, and a few of the highlights.
• I spattered white acrylic paint on the panel for snow.
• I adhered the panel to a black A2 card front.

• 

  Inside

  I black embossed the Fancy Paris word on a piece of gold card stock, and attached it to the card with foam tape for dimension
• INSIDE, I stamped part of the image with VersaFine watermark ink, and brushed on some gold Perfect Pearls pigment powder.  I sprayed with hairspray to set the powder.
  

Card Two - Snowman or Beach?

Snowman Whimsy

Inside Out:  I Love Snow

Seashell Borders Set of 2 (inside)

How I made it:

• On a desert storm A2 card, I stamped the Snowman Whimsy image.  I colored him with Polychromos colored pencils.
• I drew snow hills, and spattered some white acrylic paint on the front for snow flakes.
• I distressed the edges with Vintage Photo and Wild Honey distress ink.  I love adding Wild Honey to the brown of the Vintage Photo to add a little brightness.
• I stamped the 'outside' part of the verst from the Inside Out:I Love Snow set on the front of the card.
• INSIDE:  I stamped the inside part of the verse, and the Seashell Borders.  I colored the seashells with colored pencils.
