I started stamping and card making several years ago when my daughter took me to a home stamping party. When she no longer wanted them, I bought ALL her stamps AND all her friend's stamp pads, mailed them to Colorado where I'm living now, and started playing more seriously. I love card making, painting or drawing, sewing and all kinds of crafts.

B is for...Blackboard Technique and Birthday Balloons
Recently Richard Garay, Fun Stampers Journey President and Co-Founder, demonstrated the blackboard technique in this video. It's a quick and easy technique, using black card stock, clear embossing ink, and pan pastels. I remember using chalks for this technique a LONG time ago! :-) This is one of the three cards we'll be making at my April 22nd card class.
For this card I used the balloon paper from the Magical Journey Prints collection (PP-0038) and one of the wonderfully wonky cakes in the To You stamp set (SS-0083). I've never used this stamp set without lots of coloring - so it's a bit of a change for me. I think I like the simplicity.
Don't forget to check out the other A-Z blogs this month. You can find the list on this Facebook page.
I hope you'll come back tomorrow to see what I come up with for C - I have an idea, but that could certainly change between now and then!!
