Birthday party today, come celebrate

Kathleen, Jenna & Elaine!

Today's card is a faux stained glass technique.

We are starting off with the Sparkler Butterfly layer set 

from Birch Press or wish.com

I colored both example with sharpies.

On the first one I used Wink of Stella,

a great option for those of you who do not like to wait.

On the second card I used stickles over 

the colored background.

Glossy accents and Nuvo Drops are also good options.

I used clear products so the colors would come through.

You can also fill in with colored dimensional products like

perfect pearls, colored stickles or Nuvo.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

sharpies or other alcohol based markers

(you don't want water soluble products)

dimensional product clear or colored

Love this birch tree from Tim Holtz/Sizzix.

Today I decided to go for a faux patina effect.

If you want to see what we previously did with this die you can find it here.

https://kappkards.blogspot.com/2016/08/912016-thursdays-at-scraps-galore.html

This technique can be used on a wide variety of cards.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

I used a liquid glue as pictured below, 

I'm sure even elmers glue would work or a glue stick

because the Zig two way glue dries very quickly 

and there's a lot spaces that need to be glued.

I will bring mine incase you don't have any.

Piece of scrap paper/computer paper (to glue on)

Distress Oxides and foam blenders

peacock feather

frayed burlap

Gold pigment pad

gold edger

scissor

poker

That should do it, have a great week and see you Thursday!

NOTE: we will be celebrating Katie & Barb G. birthdays next week, 1/18

Hello all, hope you are getting back into routine after all the holidays!

Today's card features Clarity Stamps 

https://claritystamp.com/

out of the UK.

This stamp is called Lone Cyprus.

I really like the round format and it comes with a stencil.

I was quite surprised when I put it in my MISTI and had to remove the foam shim.

This clear stamp is as thick as a red rubber stamp, wow!

So as you can see I tried many color combinations

 and two different types of paper.

The technique for the background is cling wrap!

I finally settled on two blues.

This one is on a semi gloss coated paper,

and the one we will be doing.

This one is the same two colors but on glossy card stock

you can barely see the difference.

Please bring your basic class kit 

including

Distress ink broken china

Distress ink mermaid lagoon

brayer

spray bottle w/water

distress markers or any water based marker

crushed olive

mermaid lagoon

black soot

stencil used crushed  olive distress ink, foam blenders

black fine tip sharpie or micron pen for outline work.

black edger

That's it, have a great week!

Color layering stamps are all the rage right now!

Hero Arts has many of these sets.

Today we're using the Seahorse set.

 distress stains to the background of the circle. 

I love this My Favorite Things background,

so much movement.

I also added a touch of wink of stella

 even though you can't see it on the scan.

Please bring your basic class kit
