FOUR cards, ONE tecnique...

*Click on each picture if you wish to enlarge*


                          ♥ Hello Gals... 
lately, I just seem to find it harder and harder to keep up with everything
'extra', including this blog....have so many cards made from a while ago that
I haven't even posted...not even sure if I can catch up...
At least, these one are not that tardy....just a few weeks....lol

  In fact, about three wks ago, I was the hostess on 'You Can Do It' challenge
and introduced the partecipants to the : 'Straw Blowing Tecnique'
known also as 'Blow Art'.  Most of the gals have
never heard of this tecnique,,,,it is really a FUN one to try too!
Unfortunatley, I couldn't find anything on SCS
tutorials, but did find a few you tube videos that I can share with you lovely peeps ;o)


This tecnique is so much fun and all you need are: a straw, reinkers,
glossy card stock and a paper towel for wiping.
Once your c/s is dry , please use a SILHOUETTE stamp
to enhance your beautifully created background....
Here are the tutorial links for you to peruse.

(btw: I followed Frenchie's instructions for my straw tecnique card)


......HAVE FUN BLOWING....

The Straw Technique for Beautiful Backgrounds - YouTube


As you can see here,  I made 4 background samples to show you, 
all using the Straw Tecnique explained above  
With each panel, I completed four unique cards ....  
I sure hope you'll try this tecnique. sometimes..
I know you'll love it too!! ♥

                                         

This above was my very first attempt at 
a straw blowing card 'put together'.... 
followed by the lovely geisha, 
then the four girlfriends and, lastly
I ended it with the 'rainy' card I chose to showcase at the top....







Stamps used in each card:

*Million Dollar Moment (SU)
*Priceless (SU)
*Dream Garden (SU)
*Hey Girlfriend # IB-Cosmo-72 
(Unity Stamp)









 THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT!!!
♥~~~  BLESSINGS TO ALL~~~♥

Paola these are gorgeous!! Love the technique - trouble is I only have on re-inker and that is black :-)
I also have loads of cards that I have never blogged. Don't worry about it,just do what you can when you can - after all, it is your blog and there are no 'blog police' :-)
Blessings

Paola, I'd not heard of this before but it's definitely something I'm going to check out. Your cards are gorgeous and I like the soft, flowing background you get with your technique. Very effective and pretty.
