The last class of 2015!

Is it me or did this year really zip by?

We will have our annual luncheon today after class (12 noon) at Nick & Jimmy's.

We will celebrate Prissy's birthday, so bring her a card.

We will also do the bring a holiday card get a card.

So if you bring a card we will put them all together 

and each person can pull a card.

I always sign my card so the recipient knows who it's from.

Last year I believe it was Joan who put a signed sticky note 

so the recipient can reuse the card.

Choice is yours.

Today's card is really simple but I think it packs a punch!

We will be working with Perfect Pearls and Pearl EX.

I just love those peacock feathers!

Please bring your basic class kit

including

Gold edger

If you have either of the mica products you can bring them, 

I used blues, greens & gold.

along with a paint brush to apply the mica powder.

That's it, see you Thursday!

Here are the three basic techniques we will be learning.

Today's card is using an unmounted stamp 

I bought at the convention last year.

I believe it is from Stampland.

Metallics are HOT right now.

There are machines to apply metallic foil as well as other methods.

Today I went back to basics with gold embossing powder.

I used an Anna Griffin embossing folder that

Elizabeth special ordered for me quite some time ago.

The name of the folder is Empire Arch.

I still felt I needed some more glitz

and started digging through my supplies for the perfect medium.

WaLa!

Viva Inka Gold Metallic Rub.

(I had it in 4 colors, teehee)

I think they make a lovely set as a holiday gift.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

stamping foam

scissor

gold edger

That should do it!

Enjoy your week & stay warm.
