Welcome to JUGS technique week. This week's challenge is to make a card using the faux window technique. The Gina K technique video can be found here.I have never done this technique before and found I do not have a lot of scenery type stamps....rut row.... Thankfully, after digging around a bit I found this wonderful PTI Branching out set - phew. Next challenge, no brayer, so did sponging instead. Not a huge difference in my blues, but it is there, promise LOL! After two roadblocks, kept things simple thereafter :)
Time to show me up on this technique and add your card to MrLinky over on the JUGS blog. You never know, you could be the Chick of the Week :) If you are using a public gallery use the keyword JUGS145.
The rest of the Design Team has some wonderful samples for your inspiration. Hop on over and check them out.
Have a fabulous weekend!
