Finally life has come to be somewhat normal (as in “normally chaotic” rather than “all-heck-is-breaking-loose” normal) and I have compiled all our votes for the Top 3 for SUO Challenge 36 – New Techniques. Without a doubt many of us on the SUO Challenge Design team were impressed with all the techniques and I think that each one of us learned a new technique in the process. I’m trying out two of them in my classes next week!
But enough of us! Congratulations to all of you for showing off so many wonderful techniques – but especially to our Top 3. Note that clicking on one of the pictures will take you to the original blog post and more information about the stamper’s technique!
Margaret of TotallyAwake4-Stampin. How much fun is that “Peekaboo Embossing”!? Not only is the technique fun to use, but Margaret used a perfect stamp set with all the butterflies flitting in and out and around her embossed flowers. Fun, fun, fun! Now to go get out our “Flight of the Butterfly” set!
Liz Fedyna of Stamper’s Bliss. Her take on the Vellum Faux Dry Embossing is just stunning, and we especially liked the added touch of the stitching around the central image. We think that Liz executed this technique with vellum perfectly and we’re all itching to try it again as soon as possible!
Gayle Wheeler of Stampingville. We all just loved the idea of using the Dazzling Details to trace the stamped image in this card. Gayle gave credit to Stampin’ Up! for showing off the technique. But Gayle did a dynamite job showing it off to everyone (including those of us who missed it in the demonstrator’s magazine!)
Oh Gosh! Thanks so much ladies!! I'm so glad I noticed you posted your picks – (I'm subscribed in a reader and it doesn't update when you edit a previous post). Happy Creating!
Oh wow – thanks so much for picking me as well – and to Gayle for congratulating me on my blog comments this morning because I too missed this update last week cause I was down with a nasty sinus cold – this is an honor to be showcased with such awesome talented stampers 🙂
I too heard the news via Gayle's sweet comments on my blog and I am so excited to have made top 3! I set an intention at the beggining of this year to expand my repetoire by starting to do challenges–SUO is the first badge for my blog and I am very proud to show it off. You ladies (Margaret and Gayle included!) are an inspiration.
