Wow, it's October already and the Balloon Festival is upon us!

Today's card features a hot air balloon but the technique is the background.

I wanted a warm embrace of our beautiful skies 

and the rays of sunshine that always seem present.

I love this place!

Many of the stamp companies are offering two step stamping.

Basically you have a solid shape that the outline shape goes over.

Today's card is only an outline stamp and we will 

be doing a Faux Two Step image.

This idea has so many possibilities!

Please bring your basic class kit

including

non stick craft mat

water brush or paint brush

water in a spray bottle

black edger

distress inks

peeled paint (any green)

two colors that blend well

I used

picked raspberry & wilted violet

abandon coral & wild honey

That should do it!

Have a great week and see you on Thursday!

Today's card is a Double Z Fold card,

really easy but I love the movement.

Very similar to the floating Z card we did a while back.

I used a set of dog stamps/dies from Sizzix designer Stephanie Barnard.

I also stepped out of my comfort zone and used colored pencils.

One card I blended with Gamsol the other I used a colorless pencil blender.

 

Today while poking around the Internet I came across this tutorial.

I will have to try her way of coloring & Gamsol.

Thought you might like to see the video

 and much to my surprise I actually figured out how to attach it!
