Some new techniques

I've decided that I've become boring and hardly ever try anything new ... so here's 2 new techniques from me tonight!

I loved Yana's card from a recent Simon Says Stamp hop using lots of little stamps, so thought I'd have a go.  I've had these bitty faces from The Alley Way Stamps for years and have never had a clue what to do with them!  I stamped one daft face in black, and added clear gloss and googly eyes.


Hmmmm not sure about this one! If I'd remembered I actually had a pink ink pad I might have used it instead, it's a bit wishy washy or something.  Or maybe it's the embossing that's not rocking my boat.  I can't put my finger on what's annoying me with this one!  
Anyway, I've not tried this stamping with a solid image before, so that's another first racked up for me ;)

I like both your cards, Lynne! Those silly faces just made me laugh (great idea!) and the blue on your holiday card looks perfect - like cold, blue ice.
