Last week I found myself at Vintage Market

https://www.vintagemarketanddesign.com/ 

with my gift card, thanks to all of you!

There will be lots of new stuff arriving on the heels of Creativation,

but you know me I had to buy something now.

I love Carabelle products from France.

https://www.artstamp.fr/index.cfm

So I picked up this funky flower called 

Jardin des Delices

which translates to 

The Garden of Earthly Delights.

We will create a background with Distress Oxides.

I colored the image with every possible item I had within reach.

Sharpies, gel pens, mermaid markers, glitter markers, paint pens, wink of stella etc.

I do believe you can use anything or a variety of them all.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

Non stick craft mat

spray bottle with water

black edger

Distress Oxides (I used)

twisted citron

salty ocean

peacock feathers

Perfect Pearl spray

Variety of coloring items, pens, markers etc.

That should do it,

Loving this warm weather.

See you Thursday.

Today's card is a technique called Northern Lights

and is supposed mimic the Aurora Borealis.

Here are my attempts.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

black edger

Distress Oxides and foam blender

salty ocean

peacock feathers

picked raspberry

wilted violet

twisted citron

cracked pistachio

lucky clover

and

You just need about 3 colors that work together.

I played with many combinations.

I love taking a piece of white card stock and creating a colorful scene!

Today we will celebrate Katie & Barb G. birthdays

Today's card is my funny valentine,

do you have that song stuck in your head now?

Gone are the days of mushy valentines in my house.

We will be masking and using the MISTI on this card.

This one is colored using pastel pencils.

 The next two are colored pencils and colorless blender.

I switched up the sentiment.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

favorite coloring medium

black edger

That should do it, see you all next week!

NOTE: we will be celebrating Katie & Barb G. birthdays next week, 1/18

Hello all, hope you are getting back into routine after all the holidays!

Today's card features Clarity Stamps 

https://claritystamp.com/

out of the UK.

This stamp is called Lone Cyprus.

I really like the round format and it comes with a stencil.

I was quite surprised when I put it in my MISTI and had to remove the foam shim.

This clear stamp is as thick as a red rubber stamp, wow!

So as you can see I tried many color combinations

 and two different types of paper.

The technique for the background is cling wrap!

I finally settled on two blues.

This one is on a semi gloss coated paper,

and the one we will be doing.

This one is the same two colors but on glossy card stock

you can barely see the difference.

Please bring your basic class kit 

including

Distress ink broken china

Distress ink mermaid lagoon

brayer

spray bottle w/water

distress markers or any water based marker

crushed olive

mermaid lagoon

black soot

stencil used crushed  olive distress ink, foam blenders

black fine tip sharpie or micron pen for outline work.

black edger

That's it, have a great week!
