The first new technique I have for you is Rock and Roll! I read the tutorial at splitcoast and then we did it at club too!



The rock and roll technique is pretty simple but hey - anything that takes stamping to the next level is good right? Here is the link the the tutorial at SCS. Rock and Roll

You need a solid image stamp to do this. I chose the set True Friend. I love that set - even better that it is die cut!
I did the big medallion. Ink up your lightest color first - here groovy guava - then you roll the edges in the other color - I chose Close to Cocoa. Super simple!



So then I decided to do another image and make a card! I used the tri-flower and just did the tips. The card base is River Rock, then a layer of groovy guava corners punched with my CM fancy corner punch, then some Apple Cider DP (love it hope it comes out in fall catty) punched with SU's ticket corner punch. In the bottom right corner I used a sentiment from Simple Delights and stamped "Just Because You're You" in Close to Cocoa - I love that saying! I punched out the image with my PINK Marvy oval punch and layered it on a close to cocoa piece punched out using the PURPLE Marvy scalloped oval punch. I added my ribbon by punching a hole and threading it through then tying a bow I used Groovy Guava stitched ribbon. I just love this year's in colors! What am I going to do when they retire????????? Thanks for looking!
