ICRCPREWIN02 - RECIPE CHALLENGE

Hello ICRians!!!

It is that time again…. TIME FOR NEW CHALLENGE …. This is Shraddha here and Welcome to the December Coasteride. Remember, the coasterides are running month long….so there is ample time to participate and share your creations!

We have officially entered the Christmas season and the New Year will show up in no time. Now, Christmas means loads of baking and cookies and yum treats! Hence our challenge, ICRCPREWIN02, this month is a RECIPE CHALLENGE.

A closer look:

REMEMBER- include ALL the ingredients in the recipe card, and do not forget about THE TWIST!

3. Monthly challenge- 1st november to 28th november 2015.

Now lets look at all the awesome creations by our fabulously talented designers and the techniques they used.

Asha used die cutting and window technique to create her card. It is very easy to create windows with any shape dies or punches.

Bhavana used ink smooshing and water resist with distress inks techniques. Ink smooshing requires ink, water and a piece of acetate/plastic to lift ink from the palette and smoosh it on the card.

Gopi made her card using Joy fold technique and heat embossing. It is a 3 fold card where the front of the card opens like a gate. Hence Joy Fold.

Priya made her card using distressing for background and paper piecing for the ornament. Paper piecing is a fun technique where you can combine different colored papers to complete the look of a stamped/die cut image.

Paru made a cute tag using heat embossing and blending technique. Use pencil colors and a blender pen to create paint like effect. You could also use solvents like Gamsol for this technique.

Pratyusha used heat embossing and paper piecing techniques on her card. Heat embossing is a wonderful technique to create backgrounds that can be created using slow drying inks (like Versamark Inks), embossing powder and a heat tool.

Finally, I used glowing technique on the Christmas trees on my card. This technique uses white gel pen and blending chalks. I also used ink smooshing to create the background.
