non stick craft sheet

ball point glue pen

poker

edgers

If you have/want

and an assortment of embossing folders

for all of you to share.

Enjoy your week see you on Thursday!

Today's card is quite simple,

but I wanted to introduce to you a new product on the market.

Ken Oliver's Color Burst.
Basically they are intense watercolor powders.
There are a variety of ways to use them,
today we will be doing the spritz & sprinkle.
I've paired this with the Memory Box Butterfly Reverse die.
On my final sample I used homemade glitter mist,
of course this is my favorite.
(Hard to see in the picture.)

These sold out quickly at Scraps Galore,
but they have been reordered.
If you would like to purchase them please let Beth know
 and she can write a special order for you.

Please bring your basic class kit
including
ballpoint glue pen
tweezers
pokey tool
gold edger
That should do it!

We will be celebrating Linda's birthday today,
Sherry is bringing a treat to share.

Enjoy your week,
hope to see you soon.
