Today over on Gingersnap Creations I've put together a tutorial for a couple of quick background ideas. This will be my last DT contribution for Gingersnap Creations for a few months (back with them in September) and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Ali, Shar and the team for making my time with them so enjoyable.
If you would like to check out the tutorial please visit here.
The three pieces I put together using the technique are...
(shown above)A splashy fun card featuring a favourite Stampotique character STRUT YOUR STUFF. What attitude! lol
A little card, simple stamping with Stampotique's LITTLE FRIENDS onto matt and layering and a couple of blossoms stacked up ontop of each other. Would make a handy thankyou or notelet.
And finally a much larger card featuring Be Yourself from Autumn Leaves and Pop Stems from Hero Arts.

Jo, these are stunning cards and the tutorial is great - I mean to try this out as soon as I can (don't have any string at the moment!)
Hope the fact that you're not working with gingersnap for a while doesn't mean we'll see less of your brilliant work elsewhere too?
Fan-blooming-fantastic. Thanks for putting up the tutorial - that are such a boon for an old woman with depleted inspiration!
Show me a blank piece of paper and - and it's a reflection of my brain!
Off to plant spuds - but that is an art I am good at.
Hope to have a go at your cards next week - if it rains.
Love it! Another one that I say,"Why didn't I think of that?" It's because I have the same problem as Lottie. I truly appreciate the sharing all of you creative, inspirational people do. By the way, Love, Love, the bird. Gave me a giggle to start my day!
Gorgeous cards!!! Off to check out that tutorial - looks great! Jo x
wonderful cards Jo and all different. the girls are right - the ideas seem so obvious when you see them but it takes the true creator to come up with them! off to study the tutorials.
I really like this background. Thanks for sharing the technique at GC.
I love all three of these cards, Jo and am going to take a look at the tutorial right now.
I do adore the first one with the fabulous bird stamp and the way he's walking out of the paint splash!!!
Brill tut Jo....will miss ya over the next few months but happy to know you will be back with the Gingers .. and...LOVE that Strut Your Stuff..how cool is that stamp?? Thanks for sharing x
Love the strut your stuff stamp that is brilliant. Will pop over and have a look at the tutorial.
just fantastic work Jo, have been to Gingerstamps and read your tutorial, again more brill ideas and your use of the mopped up glimmer mists is just inspired.
I am off to check out the tutorial ... I especially LOVE the top one ... a LOT! Enjoy your break!
I agree with Linda. OH just asked why I was chuckling, didn't realise I was. Such a fun card. I'm off to check out the tutorial too.
Jo, a fantastic tutorial and great makes as ever. Good luck with your book. I am sure we at Gingersnaps will all want a signed copy. Look forward to you joining us again in September. Take care
Gorgeous creations - I spent some time relaxing looking at all your projects - it very nearly inspired me to start crafting again lol!
All of these are gorgeous but my absolute fave is that cute top one, its so different and so sweet
hugs June xxxxx
love the birdie card :D
Those cards are stunning, but the top one just has to be my fave, it's such a fab stamp xx
Spectacular cards! Loved the tutorial!
Thanks for all the great art, extraordinary enthusiasm and wonderful laughs this term! See ya again in the Fall!
Hugs and other mushy stuff, Shar
Beautiful and fun work as usual Jo. You know what I love about your cards, there is a simplicity to them, but that's not to suggest that they are simple, they just have a simple elegance to them. They always look just put together so well. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you make what is probably hard work and hard techniques look "simply elegant always". Thanks for the continued inspiration which I've gotten a lot from you lately.
LOVE the first card Jo!! How fun to let the bird step into wet paint :)
The other cards are gorgeous too!
This background you created is like the coolest ever! Loved the tute. And of course I always love the end result. Fabulous! And I'm diggin that little birdie up above. What a cutie.
Lovely cards, nice tutorial...like the string,,I have done the same sort of effect with white or gold wax crayon...using a metallic gives a nice effect with the lines.
Jo, your cards are just beautiful! Thank you for the great tutorial - loved it :)
Val
beautiful cards Jo!
