Tutorial Tuesday
Tutorial of the Week: Faux Seaglass Bracelets by Patty at Patty's Stamping Spot
Aren't these awesome?!!! I have never dabbled in jewelry making, but this tutorial certainly makes me want to try -- tools needed (mostly stuff you have): shrinky dinks, stamps! (yes!), Crystal Effects, hole punches, jump rings, bracelet chain. Patty makes it look simple and I think I may have to try this!
Runner Up: Sponged Water Color Background by Leslie at Running with Scissors
Leslie has been a favorite artist for a while and this card shows you why. I love how it looks almost like a photograph. Leslie is great at coloring and just as good at teaching. She shows you step by step how to achieve these great results.
