Today's card we will be creating the background with a Jennifer McGuire technique 

called smooth alcohol inking. 

Note; alcohol inks stain so don't wear your favorite shirt 

and bring disposable gloves if you don't want inky fingers.

The focal image is a Hero Arts stamp & die called Protea flowers.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

double sided adhesive

non stick craft mat

rubbing alcohol for easy clean up

(disposable rubber gloves/optional)

Favorite coloring medium

I used alcohol markers like sharpies or copic

black edger

That's it, great to be back,

have a great week!

This week Sue will teaching these 2 watercolor pieces.

Here's what she shared about the class.

Watercolor Playday

 

Welcome to Watercolor Playday!  Today you will experiment with a variety of watercolor types after stamping a large image.  Below are some samples--you will have two to choose from, as well as several styles of backing sheets.  Because the stamps are oversized, the backing papers are, too—you could make cards out of these, but they would require large cardstock to fold and would cost more to send. This might be a good card for someone you see in person.  Or it just could be your work of art.  

Materials to bring:

    Class kit

     Double sided tape OR glue stick

      Gold and black edgers

 Small brush with water container OR water brush

Small scissors

Paper trimmer

Thanks Sue for a great class!
