Technique Tuesday

I love it when my UFO pile transforms itself into a blog post.

After my recent shaving cream video, which I'll put below, I had so many beautiful scraps sitting in the one fridge bin I allow myself for UFOs. You have to be careful with your UFO population, or those little buggers multiply.

It's often the perfect thing for a new stamp you got, and that was the case today, with my adorable little seahorse from Technique Tuesday.

I colored him orange and yellow to contrast with my background, and ended up die cutting that to sort of give a feel of bubbles.

Very quick and simple card. I like the size of this little guy - often seahorses are too teeny to color, but he's just right.

That's the cool thing about UFOs sitting in the bin - someday they mean half your card is done for you, and is just waiting for the right seahorse! :)

Here is the video for the background technique, in case you missed it.



Hope you have a great weekend lined up.

Loveyameanitbye.
