Hello blogoland!!!
How are you all doing? Here in Greece things are very tough...especially with all the strikes by the public transportation...There is SO much traffic on the roads and my job is faraway from home...grrrr....anyway...
I have some exciting news to share with you!
"Bird Is The Word" has added new talented members to the team!!!
Here is the announcement:
Our new design team members have been chosen! They are seven, lovely and super talented ladies!!
Keren Tamir
Emma Stafrace
Leila Cassimira
Gwen Wruck
Anna Zaprzelska/Brises
Marilyn Rivera
Melenia
Mary Thomas (Designing Sketches)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome on board ladies! I was so happy to see Melenia's name in there as She is Greek and we know each other in person!!! They all have a special style to cover everyones tastes and they will be a great asset to BITW!!! Their work is so inspiring!!! I can't wait to see your creations!
and now...for the new word...actually two words:
"YOU & ME"
Please create your project using these words either as the title or in
your journaling. That is it! Oh, one last thing... please remember to
give Bird is the Word credit in your blog. At the end of the challenge
our design team will vote and the winner will receive a kit from Tidbitz In Time. We also have featured winners who receive a blog badge from Bird is the Word.
And one last little piece of information. We have revamped our voting
process! Winners will now be announced on the opposite Sunday as the
challenge is released. For example, the MEMORY challenge ended on Sunday,
so votes will be submitted and counted by next Sunday...October 2nd.
We will announce the winner of the challenge on that day.
I made a card this time since it is "card day" this Saturday using Echo park's paper, sizzix dies, Jolee's stickers and Petaloo flowers!
I LOOOOOOVE this technique and although I knew how to do it for a long time, this was the first time I actually tried it and I was impressed!
Mini tutorial:
1) You paint the chipboard with acrylic paint
2) You apply crackle accents on top
3) When it is dry, you paint it all with another color
4) and immediately, before it dries, you take it off with a baby wipe.
The second color stays in the crackles and you get this awesome effect!!!
Isn't it cool????
P.S. I am entering this card to "Get Creative" card challenge since I used their beautiful sketch!!
and to "Scrapbookers Anonymous" for using chipboard!
I hope you enjoyed the post! Have a nice week!!!
