Bloggers Challenge - Meets TJ Blogstravaganza

Another Friday....Another Bloggers Challenge....I've also combined this post with my daily TJ Blogstravaganza post - be sure to stop by Pat's Blog to see what she and the other TJ DT members created today!

This weeks challenge is The Same But Different




For my project, I decided to use the same stamps, same layout, same card stock, but changed my coloring medium.

On this first card, I stamped my images from PaperTrey's Boards and Beams in Black Archival, then colored using the Marker Water Coloring Technique from a past issue of the TJNL. To add a little dimension to my focal image, I stamped my windows and doors from Home for the Holidays on a separate piece of watercolor paper, cut them out and adhered them to my base. I stamped the icicles with a Glue Pad, and lightly applied my DD Glitter.

For this second card, I kept the card stock and stamps the same - but for my medium, I colored with Shimmerz Paints. You can't see the shimmer in the photo, but IRL, it sure does sparkle. Shimmerz are great for adding some bling to your Holiday cards!

Here's a close up of the image painted with Shimmerz
