Today's card is a technique called Northern Lights

and is supposed mimic the Aurora Borealis.

Here are my attempts.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

black edger

Distress Oxides and foam blender

salty ocean

peacock feathers

picked raspberry

wilted violet

twisted citron

cracked pistachio

lucky clover

and

You just need about 3 colors that work together.

I played with many combinations.

I love taking a piece of white card stock and creating a colorful scene!

Hello all and welcome to November!

Well I'm still on my ink blending kick.

I recently came across two birch tree stamps 

that I bought at the convention from StampScapes.

Well StampScapes was not at the convention last year,

so these have been sitting around uninked for quite some time.

On the first sample I used

blueprint sketch

ripe persimmons

squeezed lemonade

On the second sample I used

faded jeans

wilted violet

 

On the third

blueprint sketch

wilted violet

 

I may also do another with reds and yellows!

Please bring your basic class kit

including

black or gold edger

your favorite sky colors distress inks

and matching blenders.

That should do it!

Enjoy your day and see you on Thursday.

This week's card is a masculine one that can be made 

feminine with a simple change of colors.

I dug through my scenic stamps to find one that 

worked behind the open feather.

Simple masking and an ink applicator to color the image.

Add a little dry embossing and you're done.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

gold edger

broken china and blender

bundled sage and blender

That should do it.

Enjoy your week and see you on Thursday!

We will be celebrating Nancy and Bette's birthdays on October 8th.

3/3/2015 class @CP2

The stamp convention always makes me think of Stampscapes

 and I have the urge to pull out my boxes of stamps from them, yes i did say boxes.

I was totally amazed and mesmerized watch Ken work his magic at the demo table.

I took his class here at CP2 several years ago.

Sadly they will not be at the show this year.

Look here to see who will be there, 

some companies that I have never seen at the Albuquerque convention, yay!

So back to this weeks card,

 a simple Stampscapes scene with a brayered background.

The fold is one that Renee gave me a sample of back in the fall of last year,

I'm calling it a modified trifold.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

stamping mat (mouse pad etc)

black edger

FYI, I used

Ranger Stained Glass Ink Pad

Stamps:

Lakeside cove lg

ducks formation

reeds

cattails

pebbles

solo canoeist

March Birthdays will be celebrated on the 24th

Sue & Jerri have birthdays on the same day!

That should do it, stay warm and get a little bit inky!
