Hope you enjoy the video on the wax paper transfer technique, I'm still learning and experimenting so have a lenient heart while watching :)

what I learned this time:
1. Don't talk too much while you have something that needs to applied quickly, lol

my version of the August 2013 TH tag as a 6 x 12" wall hanging:

I was able to use a masking technique using post it notes to cover my image. I used the same techniques as TH did for the background ( it happens to be the way I do all my almost all of my backgrounds so that worked out easily enough. )

Ranger - Distress Stains, vintage photo,brushed pewter, black soot

Inque Boutique - tread stamp

Reminisce - sticker letters

Golden - Gel Matte, Archival Varnish ( for inks and stains )

Spectra Fix - pastel fixative ( for charcoal pencil )

Ketchup: noun

This all-American condiment started out as a spicy, fermented fish sauce in Malaysia.

That version, known as kěchap, made its way first to Europe and then to the New World, where tomatoes eventually became the defining ingredient.

Elsewhere, ketchup retains an earlier identity. Traditional English ketchup, for example, is a pureed seasoning based on mushrooms, unripe walnuts, or oysters.

Simon Says Stamp and Show - A little stamping

Paper Smooches - July 8-14 Designer Drafts challenge

A very simple card, letting the paper be my background. The sentiment is made with with 2 different stamp sets. The Happy Birthday is from CARDZ TV and the deer is from Paper Smooches, where I masked off the my and just used the deer.

I stamped the fawn out first, colored it in with distress stains and fussy cut it out, used a charcoal pencil around the edges of the card, smudged with my finger. Sprayed it with a fixative so the charcoal would not mess up the card or the fingers, when the recipient handles it.

Paper Smooches - Happy Camper stamp set

Creative Imaginations - background paper

SpectraFix - Pastel fixative
