Using Blendabilities on your pictures- Two Minute Technique Tuesday

by

Have you seen those black and white photos that have a pop of color on them? You know those cute little babies with a bright bow or ruffly diaper cover? Or a cute furry pet with a bright bow or collar? How would you like to be able to get that look quickly and easily? Are you like me and taken pictures at colorful images at night only to find out that they lack the brilliant color once you have them printed? Today’s technique is for you! Watch and see how I turn colorless fireworks into fireworks of many colors.

Now these photos weren’t black and white but as you can see you can get wonderful results with color photos that lack color also. I am on the hunt for some black and white photos to play some more. I will share them when I do.

Trendy Trees meets thumping technique, retiring Stampin’ Up! stamp set,

by

Trendy Trees is a 2-step stamp set that is great set for techniques like “rock and   roll” , “thumping”, “watercolor spritz” and many other techniques that are great for use on solid stamps. You can achieve a more elegant look with this set if you dab on any of our Shimmer Paints using our sponge daubers. Using either the Frost White or Platinum Shimmer Paint and stamping onto any of our blue cardstocks achieves a wonderful winter look. If you’d like to get an “out of the box” look with the Trendy Trees stamp set why not make the circular image into a fun candy lollipop? You can even create a turkey using the scattered leaves image and a few of our punches. The idea I am sharing today uses the thumping technique to achieve the variegated fall color look.
