What an adventure today's class was.

They moved us back to our old room #7 on the second floor.

Just as we were starting class the electricity went out,

so no heat setting for the emboss resist technique!

As we're leaving I realized that the elevator wouldn't be working!

I am pleased to say we all made it down successfully with the help of the center staff!

I took Paseo home after lunch completely forgetting about the power outage,

they put a mobile stop sign at the intersections, 

I can't believe they didn't put a cop up there to direct traffic.

It was crazy!

On to next weeks card.

We will be using this wonderful Pink Ink Sea Turtle.

The background is a faux watercolor with distress inks.

Here is a card I did during the pandemic just to show you other color options.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

non stick craft mat

scissors

spray bottle w/water

paper towel

Distress Inks (I used wilted violet & broken china)

any combo of blues/greens will work

Your favorite coloring medium

I used water color pencils (Inktense)

water brush

sand eraser, pencil sharpener & paper towel

That should do it,

have a great week!
