It's party day, come celebrate David, Jenna & Judy's birthday!

I was reading one of Jennifer McGuire blog post and 

she did a series of cards that she called Faux Textured Metal.

They sure do shimmer but not sure that they look like textured metal.

They are really pretty and the process sure is addictive!

Here's 5 that I whipped out in no time and I have a 6th in the progress.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

non stick craft sheet

ball point glue pen

poker

edgers

If you have/want

distress inks that will blend

ink blending tool for those colors

perfect pearls or pearl ex

brush for perfect pearls

favorite embossing folder

Of course I will bring inks, blenders, perfect pearls, brushes

and an assortment of embossing folders

for all of you to share.

Enjoy your week see you on Thursday!

Today's card is one layer with lots of stamping, 

masking, distress inks and of course 

my beloved watercolor pencils!

When I saw this set at the Art Impressions booth 

during the stamp convention I knew I had to have it.

I grew up surrounded by water, no palm trees but love the beach.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

pencil w/eraser

I used the following distress inks & blending tool

antique linen

salty ocean

tumbled glass

I also used the same color markers to touch up missed areas

Your choice of coloring medium

spray bottle w/water

paint brush or water brush

That should do it!

Don't forget we will celebrate August Birthdays on the 27th

Jenna, David & Judy

Enjoy your week!

I was recently looking at all the die cuts on the wall at Scraps Galore 

and found this Memory Box die called Steampunk Corner and just had to have it!

I knew I wanted to cut it out of foil and distress it,

but which method should I use?

So I decided to make the background embossed foil

 and use my two favorite techniques.

Here are the two samples I made.

So for the background we will use a black paint dauber and a baby wipe.

The corner we will use Alcohol Inks.

Kinda fun huh?

Please bring your basic class kit

including

black paint dauber

glue stick

zig 2 way glue

score tape or redline tape

black edger

That should do it!

Remember we are celebrating August birthdays on the 27th,

David, Jenna & Judy

Enjoy your week,

All pieces will be cut and stamped, ready for you to color and assemble.

You will leave with 10 cards,

the cutting guide and a picture of each card.
