Last post for the day, figured I might as well do it all!

The feedback I was getting last week is that lunch is as important if not more important than the card.

Yes eating is a priority!

So here's today's card, we should be able to finish this one fairly quickly so we can get to lunch.

(Cheddars restaurant is this weeks lunch, just in case you were wondering)

Please bring your basic class kit

including a black edger and a white edger.

Have a wonderful week.

Today's card I went way out of my comfort zone.

Glitter!

I've been seeing a lot of white on white cards 

with a touch of sparkle.

In the mode of use what you have I had a brand new jar of

Art Glitter which if my memory serves me it was not cheap.

If you prefer not to work with this loose glitter

 I would use my wink of stella pens,

(which is what I would do if I did this card again)

Hard to see but really very elegant.

We will be dry embossing & die cutting.

Along with your basic class kit

please include

zig 2 way glue pen (large tip)

tweezers

glue dots and/or foam tape

silver edger

Wink of Stella if you want

(you can also add color with these pens)

So that's about it, hope you are recovering

 from a massive eating weekend,

enjoy your day,

Here we go, hot off the craft table!

This weeks card is simple and elegant.

I can see doing this technique with a variety of colors and stamps.

We are using a silhouette stamp and giving it a shadow.

Dry embossing for texture and a gold edge for a little glitz and we're done.

I considered adding a bow but I wanted a flat card for mailing.

Today's class kit please include

gold edger

tea dye ink

foam blending tool

November Birthdays

there are no active members birthdays this month.

This week I decided to try a new technique

(at least for me)

You need a lined stamp with open space,

after digging through everything and not really finding what I was looking for

 I settled on this stamp from Heartfelt Creations. 

Bought it last year at the convention and it still had it's paper backing on!

Time to ink it up!

The technique is called floating reinker water coloring.

The thing that appealed to me is that it is out of your control, 

yeah you pick the colors and drop them down

 but after that every piece will look differently.

So here's the one that I did.

Then I started thinking, how about stains and sprays, oh my!

We'll have to save that for another time.

Please bring your basic class kit

be sure to include

scissors

non stick craft sheet

gold edger

spray bottle for water

paint brush

brushed corduroy distress stain 

and foam blending tool
