Very cute card! I love paper piecing but haven't done much of it lately. My favorite tool, is probably my big shot since I can use the embossing folders, nesties and my sizzix dies in it, but I do love my punches too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this fantastic candy :)
I forgot to add I'm linking your giveaway on my blog as well :)
ReplyDeleteIt made me smile.
ReplyDeleteFun Card.. Fun Ideas Fun place to
ReplyDeletebe... Fun Blog.. great job.
One of my ** fav's is either my spellbinder or cuttlebug followed by adding fun embellishments to cards or scrap-book pages. Thanks for the opportunity at your blog candy! !!
I LOVE the Easter card Erika!! It's so cute... I don't make Easter cards, because there's no young kids in my life at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAs for my favourite technique, that would be distressing right now.. I finally learned how to do it, and I can make it look good!! So I have been using that technique a LOT, especially with my vintage stamps.
My favourite tool is my cutter. I use it to cut all my papers, and I often use it for square and rectangular layering as well. I can't cut with scissors straight to save my life, so the cutter is indispensable to me.

Beautiful techniques! Love the resist one. I've done it before, but it's been a long time. I've been on a stamping/scrapping hiatus for a few years I guess. Getting back into it now and it feels so good! I don't have a favorite technique, but I can't seem to get away from my paints.
ReplyDeleteThat card is SUPER cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI will put a link on my blog as soon as I get through blog strolling.
Thanks for such great blog candy!

Right now my favorite technique is dry embossing and my favorite tool is the Cuttlebug embossing folder. However, I LOVE the 'grunge' flower you showed on your blog and I think I'm going to have to try that! I'm not familiar with the Pumpkin Shimmerz--is it a paint or an ink? thanks for a great blog.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your creations! I love fairies too!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite technique at this time is prismacolor pencils and gamsol and my favorite tool is my cuttlebug I just love that thing.
ReplyDeleteI keep going back to my very favorite of all times-technique which is EP embossing and my heat gun will have to be the tool of choice. I've tried nearly every technique introduced to me, but that amazement of the embossing powder being heated on cardstock still amazes me every time I use it. Oh, I love your card(s) and that fairy is scrumptious! neldamc

If you can call sponging a technique - I LOVE what it adds to plain white cardstock and an image! I just got some nestabilities and am enjoying using them in my cuttlebug. Thanks for the offer of candy!!! Have a great day! Sue-Lynn in PA
ReplyDeleteOkay - I love the card and the ducky is great!
ReplyDeleteI love to use markers and play with the shading to create dimension to the image...so fun - even if it doesn't always come out right!
My favorite tool would be the crop-a-dile becuase I hate setting eyelets!!!
