I know I've been away forever! Two reasons.....one I just didn't have any drive or desire to stamp. Yes you heard me.....didn't want to stamp. Not really sure why. Second reason: I couldn't get to my stamp room for close to a month. My room is in the lower level of our split level house and hubby needed to replace the stairs. Thankfully they are finished and now we have wooden steps that match the hardwood floor we put in last year. YAY.
Since I've been away from stamping so long I've decided to get back to some oldie but goody stamping techniques that I use to love. In this card I used Crayon Resist. Later today we are going to a birthday party for a long time friend of my brother. Mike is turning 50 at the end of this month. He enjoys working on cars so I thought this would be a perfect card for him.
For those who may not remember Crayon Resist technique you start by stamping glossy white cardstock with dye based ink. Let it dry then take a white crayon (really any color crayon will do I've used purple in a pinch) and go over the places in the stamped image that you don't want any ink to be. Next ink up a stamping sponge and cover the image. With a tissue wipe down the image, and just like magic the ink that was on the crayoned part will be removed.
Have a safe and Happy Memorial Day......remember them.
Bye for now.....
