We will be celebrating Sue R. birthday on March 26.

I thought I would start the month off with cards using product 

from vendors that will be at the stamp show.

Today I am featuring a card with stamps from Dare 2B Artzy.

This is the card we will be creating.

Here are some Dare 2B Artzy cards we have done over the years.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

craft mat

Ultra Fine black Sharpie

Variety of color sharpies

black edger

Distress Inks & Foam Blender w/handle

I used

mustard seed, spiced marmalade, fired brick

or

blueprint sketch,wilted violet, worn lipstick

That should do it,

have a great week!

Well February is gone ...

Today we will be working with this Laurel Burch 

image called Wild Horse Run.

After heat embossing on watercolor paper 

we will be coloring it with Derwent Inktense pencils.

I have some to share but if you don't want to wait bring watercolor pencils.

Here's a little about them from their website.

"Derwent Inktense Pencils are our best watercolour pencil ever! You can use them dry but mix them with water and WOW! the colour turns into vibrant ink. Once it’s dry the colour is fixed and you can work over the top of it."

Please bring your basic class kit

including

Inktense or any watercolor pencils

water brush or brush & container for water or

spray bottle with water

pencil sharpener

eraser

paper towel

gold edger optional

That should do it,

have a great week!
