Hey there! The Christmas Chaos Countdown has really gotten the better of me this year. Seems like I'm playing catch-up with everything, including blogging! eeek!

Today I want to share with you some swaps I received last month with a "techniques" theme.

First,  Renee Watson used the "Smackin' Acetate" technique to get the splotchy background for her balloons. The greeting is from Confetti Celebration. She added sparkle to the black balloons with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen.

 

Next, Lorraine Duran used Feather Together with Dapper Denim cardstock and ink, stamping on Watercolor Paper for more texture. She used retiring Kraft Rope Trim, which is discounted 40% off while supplies last!

Cindy Ewertz gold heat-embossed directly onto Moroccan Designer Series Paper with images from the retiring It's a Celebration set:

If you didn't get Christmas cards made this year, it's not too late to do some for the New Year!

Finally, Rhonda Bassler used the Picture Perfect set for her easel card:

She used the emboss-resist technique, embossing the starfish with clear powder on Very Vanilla before sponging with Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sky ink.

I have more to share, but I'll save them for another day.
