I had a really good weekend, which is why I chose to use Reason to Smile to start off this week's technique spotlight. Friday night's workshop was awesome! My hostess had 17 guests and over $600 in sales - my biggest to date! It ran fairly smoothly, which is what I am most concerned with. My uncle gets season tickets for the New England Revolution soccer games and was able to get us additional tickets to see David Beckham play against us in August!! Beckham retired from English premeire soccer and signed with MLS. Just to be able to get a photograph with him and his autograph costs $200! Are they crazy?! I know he's a superstar and all, but that seems a little much when alot of kids think soccer is their life. I'm considering paying that much for me and my little cousin to meet him, but I don't know because that is still a big chunk of change! On Saturday, me, my aunt and my godmother got together to spend about 5 hours scrapbooking. I completed 8 pages of mostly Christmas and winter stuff! Whew! I still have some summer happenings to work on, and then I can start 2007! Yippee!
Onto the Rock 'n Roll technique! All you need for this is two ink pads, one lighter and one darker, and a favorite stamp set. Try to use bigger stamps that are closed rubber instead of stamps that have alot of open spaces. That way, you can see the two colors better. Step 1, stamp your image completely in the light color first. Step 2 (top photo), roll the stamp's edges in the darker ink. Using the dark ink first and then rolling onto the light ink will cause an ink transfer that is hard to get rid of. Step 3, stamp your image onto cadstock and then piece together your card! Quick and easy with a little more color interest!
