Challenge 72 - Recipe (blue, green or red)

Our last Challenge had really wonderful projects from everyone but unfortunately some of them will not be eligible for the Winner prize as they didn't follow the rules.  The Winner and Top 3 will be announced later so become a follower and never miss a post.

For Challenge 72 we have the wonderful Sponsor

Here is a little about our Sponsor

Hello I am Mi Ran artist and owner of Artbymiran, I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I grew up with Korean and Japanese Manga. In my childhood, I loved drawing and making my own little stories. I moved to Canada in my late 20s, where I reside with my husband.

I have worked on a variety of publications, ranging from children's to contemporary adult genres. I have contributed as an artist and colorist. I also worked as a graphic artist and layout designer for non-comic publications. For several years I was able to share my passion through teaching art to elementary school aged children. These experiences have influenced my recent artwork.

I am excited to have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters.
I love to share my art. I love thinking of new images, and it’s so fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art.

My designer’s creations can be seen on my blog http://artbymiran.blogspot.com/

The direct link to our shop is :  http://www.etsy.com/shop/artbymiran 

The prize is 3 images from the store.

No line image technique

For this tutorial (by Ang) I have used 'Angelica Crafting' Digital Stamp by Inky Impressions, you can buy her here.   






Then you can just print your image onto your chosen cardstock.  Colour image as usual.  

Thank you Ang
I'm sure that we all have different packages we use to print out our image but I think that you will get the gist of the tutorial and be able to use it in your own programs.

Firstly we are saying a big THANK YOU to our Guest Designer Nic!
We have enjoyed having her with us these last two months.  
Here is another fabulous creation from her:

I know that our DT had never used this technique before but as usual they have done a fantastic job with their gorgeous projects.
