Use Your Favorite Technique - Final Week

This is our final week of the "Use Your Favorite Technique" challenge.  Please be sure to check our rules before posting your wonderful creation.

In scenic stamping we often use specialized techniques to create our wonderful views of the world such as using a brayer to lay down color, starting with a photograph and adding stamped images, using a digi scene to build from, using glossy paper and a stylist, using chalk, and many more.  I am sure you all have your own favorite techniques and we want you to share them with us.  Please only link completed "scenes" and be sure to include an explanation of your technique in your blog post.

Emma Writes - My name is Emma and I am a complete craft

addict living on the South Coast of England with my son and recently a new puppy! I have been crafting ever since I can remember but really got into it 8 years ago after the birth of my son and becoming a stay at home mum. Stamping is my passion, but I enjoy all types of cardmaking and papercraft. I love the vintage look and old ephemera too. 

I am so excited to be the Guest DT member this month, although the work on here far surpasses my own! 

Next is our wonderful design team member - Rachel with another beauty made for your inspiration.

Rachel - Fisher's Cards and Crafts

Craft a Scene February Challenge - Use Your Favorite Technique

Last month you were able to name your own challenge.  This month you may "Use Your Favorite Technique."  

I would like to remind everyone that this is a scenic challenge and a scene with foreground and background images is required.  You can stamp, draw or use a digi to make your scene, but cutting out paper does not qualify as creating a scene on this challenge.  Please see our instructions page for more information.  I don't like to discourage crafters so please note that any entry that does not meet our rules will be ignored.

Here is what our wonderful design team has made for your inspiration.

Anna-Karin - Layers of Ink

Anna-Karin's favorite is to do Black and White scenes on glossy paper.

Pia - Pippins Stampscapes

Pia likes to stamp on photographs.

Rachel - Fisher's Cards and Crafts

Rachel likes to make acetate overlays.

 

Maggie - Silver Crafter 

Maggie likes to take just one or two stamps to make a scene.

Sue - Sue's Crafty Corner

Sue likes to make a random background and then add stamped images.

Nancy - Crafting Passions

I decided to try the photoscape technique.

 

Now you have a chance to make a project with your own favorite techniques. You may enter up to 3 times and as many other challenges as you wish. If you do not have a blog or account on Split Coast Stampers, then just email me a picture of the piece and I will add it to one of our posts.

January Winners!

Hello everyone, I have our first winners for January 2014!  Our theme last month was to "Make Your Own Scene".  Yes that is right, you were able to make up a theme and then create a scene to match.  We had 26 wonderful entries from which to choose our top 3.   

Thank you to everyone who entered and especially to our guest designer - Claire from Clair's Crafty Creations. 


You might remember my first post last month talked about the fact that we were dropping the prize in favor of just having a top 3.  I do find it difficult to choose just 3.  There are so many wonderful scenes to select from, but I do have to be careful to see that you followed the rules and the theme.  

Here are the selections for the top three for January.

#26 Carola - Caro's World

#8 Helen - Helen Quilts

#5 Sue - Sue's Stamping

Beautiful cards everyone!  I will be back in a few moments with our next challenge.
