Technique Junkies - Technique by Design

Hi all! Welcome to the Technique Junkies "Technique by Design" blog hop! If you've landed here first, you'll want to head over to the Design Junkie blog so you don't miss any of the fantastic artwork the Design Team has created for you.

This month's blog hop is a bit different - we are challenging all you Junkies to create a card, using the sketch below, for a chance to win a fantastic prize! You can find all the details on Pat Huntoon's blog, which is the final stop in our blog hop.

For my card, I've turned the sketch on its side. To create my squares, I used three different techniques: Cracked Glass (2-08),  Cuttlebug Stamps (4-09), and Dabbed Shimmers (from the current newsletter). The stamps I've used are all from Artistic Outpost's Paris Exposition and Birds of a Feather stamp collections.

I hope you all give this a try! The next stop on the hop is Evelyn's wonderful blog. Enjoy!
