Challenge #11

Huge crafty hugs and welcome to a new challenge! Each month we put up a new challenge prompt for you to use as inspiration for your papercraft projects, be they greeting cards, scrapbook layouts, art journal pages, tags, ATCs, etc. We encourage you to create, join the challenge and share the fun! 

For this challenge it's ...

What do we mean by technique? Methods used to add texture, design and shape to paper. Core techniques include stamping, die-cutting and ink blending and to those you can add tactile techniques such as embossing, debossing or hot foiling. Throw in some masking, fussy cutting, paper piecing, stencilling and others for even more creative interest!

Show us your go-to technique, your absolute favourite, a mix of a few or a new technique you haven't tried before - the choice is yours and we can't wait to see your projects! Please mention in your post which technique/s you use.

Meanwhile, here's some inspiration from our talented design team.
