Cathy Hewlett, Linda's 1st level downline and my 2nd level, always brings a bunch of fun samples to share to our meeting, it was hard to pick just a few to show you, so here are several! Cathy holds a Technique Class at her home every month, featuring fun and different stamping techniques. I will try to tell you which technique these are if I can!
For this first card Cathy used the "Countryside" stamp set from page 115 of the Big Catalog, painted with White Craft ink and an Aquapainter to achieve the worn, old look! "wish big" is from "Short & Sweet" on page 148.

Occasions Mini "Bring on the Cake" stamp set was paired with the "Sweet Buttons" Embosslit to make this quick and simple birthday card! The "happy birthday" was stamped and colored with Stampin' Write Markers on the Daffodil Delight cardstock before running it through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder!

Easter is late this year, but it's not too soon to be thinking about getting ready! Cathy used a masking technique again to stack these adorable little chicks from "A Good Egg" on page 48! She also added a little shadowing around each one with her Aquapainter and Basic Gray ink!
