Borrowing Frykitty' s "Something New For" tracker idea since she's taking a little hiatus from hosting...

So the idea is, create an LTC with a spring theme (flowers, baby animals, umbrellas, Easter, spring nature scene, etc), BUT try a technique that is new to you. It can be a simple or difficult technique, doesn't matter, as long as it gets you to try something new and fun. Ideas could be embossing, use of any type of paint, hand-dyed papers, collage, bleaching, stencil backgrounds, Gelly plate background, textures, paper folding or cutting techniques etc. Let's use our creativity with these cards. No plain stamped cards, these cards will be showcasing your new technique.

When you decide on your card, please include in title the technique and subject, so we can try for a variety. Ex: Baby Bird: Gelly Plate background.

I will add some links to techniques soon. Also feel free to post links, if you have any.

Standard LTC size.
Please use a reusable taped mailer, and include 5 Forever stamps return postage.
Any questions on mailing, please ask.

First 3 people to send me their completed LTCs will get special limited edition ltcs from me. (not used in a tracker)
