club exchange cards

Just finished my exchange cards for SALSA, a stamping/paper crafting group that meets monthly here in Tucson.  There are over 75 members and at least 60 attend each month.
They have 3 monthly swaps:  ATC, theme card, and embellishment card.  You make one card and get one in return.  The ATC swap makes a certain amount and you get that many back. ( I decided not to make these).

the embellishments were the tags.
technique:  shadow stamping pigment white ink and overstamping with a die ink, off-setting just a little
die cut flowers that were crystal laquered for shine.
I used an old Hero Arts background stamp

theme:  "turn off and tune out"

embossed in white powder and "water colored" with distress inks (it took less than 10 minutes!)
the second image started the same but I  simply used a distress tool and swished across with 5 inks. 
I will keep it for another card.
Another old Hero Arts stamp and a much older quikutz flower die.

 

 

We meet tomorrow morning from 9am - noon in the Lucky Strike Bowling Alley!
