Last day of April, onto May, 

before we know it school will be out and we'll be into summer!

Today's technique is one that I learned when I first started paper crafting, paper tole.

 I would buy sheets to cut and layer, then I found out I could download and print my own.

Lot's of paper tole going on back then!

Today's card is using one of the blueprint stamps to create a paper tole effect.

Clean and simple with dimension! Another great use for this series of stamps.

Basic class kit including

scissors

foam tape

black edger

I used distress markers

scattered straw

mustard seed

pumice stone

stormy sky

but any yellow, blue & gray markers would work.

Enjoy your day, see you Tuesday!

Finally, I'm posting Tuesday's card!

Did you ever have one of those days when nothing seems to work?

Well I've had two days of this, what's up with that?

Anyway today we will be doing a modified tri shutter card.

Back in 2010 we did this one.

So the modification is having a card back large enough to write your sentiment.

Here's what I came up with (so many possibilities!)

Now I have to cut all those little pieces, what was I thinking!

Basic Class Kit including

water brush/blending tool

black edger

I used water color pencils, lol no surprise there!

Enjoy what's left of your weekend and here's to a productive week ahead of us.

This weekend is flying by!

This Tuesday we will celebrate Nancy Yoshimoto's birthday!

Today's card is filled with tons of Tim!

Can be used for a birthday, wishes for a good trip, 

enjoy the journey or how about sent with love, just to name a few.

We will be blending with distress inks, die cutting and stamping and

using distress markers on the blue print airplane stamp.

I have watched several video's on using the markers but of course the best by far is from Tim himself.

You can see the video here, well worth it.

Basic class kit plus

water brush/blending pen

scissors

we'll be using the following

faded jeans, fired brick & brushed corduroy distress ink pads

ink applicator and foam blending tool

faded jeans, antique linen, vintage photo & tea dye distress markers

you can bring these if you have them.

Enjoy the rest of your day and see you on Tuesday,

I'm back, actually I'm writing this before I leave, ha-ha.

Here's hoping I return relaxed and serene.

Today's card utilizes a Hero Arts framlits set, 

I have had it for quite some time but one of the stamps never saw ink.

I love stamps and matching dies, remember when we used to cut by hand.

I used my trusty water color pencils and we are coloring on craft card stock. 

Bring your basic class kit

and

water pen or blender pen

black edger

coloring medium if you want

Can't wait to see you all!
