As we wish a fond farewell to 2007 and ring in 2008, I figured I'd better get one more post in for the year. I haven't been very consistent in posting and I'd like to say that I'll make doing better a resolution for the new year, but since my track record for resolutions is nothing to shout about, it would probably be the kiss of death! LOL! Let's just settle for hoping for the best... :) I can say, however, that I've gotten quite a few books read lately. ROFL!!!!!
OK, so back to stamping. This card is from my November stamp club meeting. Our fearless leader - yes, I'm talking about you Pat! - has decided that our challenges will now be techniques. And for November, it was my call as to what the challenges were. I picked two that I had never done before - one I had a lot of fun with, the other one I really struggled with. I'll start with the fun one. It's called Frosted Filters although I've not figured out where the "frosted" part comes from. It is done with re-inkers and coffee filters. Rather than spending lots of time 'splainin it, I gratefully refer you to the step-by-step tutorial found on SCS here. I actually made two cards because after 'coloring' the first coffee filter, I decided to add more water and do another filter and see what happened. Loved them both! Give it a try - be brave - dare to get inky fingers and don't wear gloves!! LOL! This is with the first coffee filter...
