Gina K. DT Challenge.....Techniques!!!!

Smiley from millan.net

Welcome to another DT Challenge Hop with Gina K. Designs!!!!  The Design Team was challenged by Gina to choose a Background Technique shown on Stamp TV.  I had to try out a new one to me, so I chose  Stenciling With Impressabilities.




I used the Snowflake Impressability Plate.......you all just KNOW how much I LOVE my snow!!!!  And I'm thrilled we're finally back to almost winter up here!!!  LOL  I used Tim Holtz Faded Jeans Distress Ink and Memento Angel Pink.  Since I love layers.....I used Nina's newest Lovely Labels 2 also in the two ink colors and layered them using the Label 14 Nesties.  I used Pure Luxury Cardstock in White and Innocent Pink.  Now the ribbon....ohhhhh the ribbon......I DO so love ribbon!!!  Well, I recently saw some beautiful ribbon embellishments and I attempted to actually follow a tutorial for one.....yeah, well, you see, ummmm......I think I went through about 849 yards of ribbon all for naught!!!  Sheesh!!  So.....I thought to myself......."Self....you can make something with ribbon without a tutorial!!"  So this is my attempt!!  LOL  I just picked up a needle and thread and VOILA!!!  I did have to pop the snowflake background layer up to fit the ribbon though!  LOL

Sweet design Lee and that ribbon just POPS! So just thread and needle, huh? Will have to try "picking one up" and see if I can get near the results, lol! Love the stenciling, I just did it for the first time (using the Spellbinders) earlier in the week...now I need more stencils.
