1/30/2020 Thursday's @ NDB

Today we celebrate January birthdays

Conni, Katie & Bobbie.

Joan is bringing the treats.

Today's card is one of my first attempts in using the blending brushes.

We will be doing an emboss resist with 

ombre colors. 

Ombré /ˈɒmbreɪ/ (literally "shaded" in French) is the gradual blending of one color hue

 to another, usually moving tints and shades from light to dark. 

We will be doing this center but I'm showing you my other attempts.

My colors are picked raspberry, wilted violet & dusty concord.

 My colors are twisted citron, peacock feathers & mermaid lagoon

My colors are spun sugar, picked raspberry & wilted violet.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

blending brush

non stick craft sheet

scrap paper to clean brush off

scissors

tweezers

liquid glue

poker

black edger optional

3 inks from the same color family.

I used distress oxides but any ink will work

That should do it,

have a great week!

for me, by me

I am totally smitten with Lavinia Stamps.

Just wanted to share a few things I've been doing.

All backgrounds inked with distress oxides and blending brushes.
