10/21/2014 class @CP2

Last week I spent my days preparing for classes or teaching.

So I came home Saturday itching to get inky.

I knew I wanted to use the Stampendous stamps and dies

I bought at Nancy's a while ago.

I love the pen pattern series, looks like zentangle,

which I have to be very zen to do zentangle

 otherwise it just stress me out.

So I sat at my desk pondering if I should be a purist

 and create in black and white or do I add color.

Well the autumn colors have been calling my name,

so I went with color.

The original card I stamped in black, 

on the second one I switched to sepia, 

gives it a little softer feel.

So sepia it is!

Please bring your basic class kit

including

gold paint pen

if you own

wild honey ink pad

fired brick ink pad

rusty hinge ink pad

plus ink blenders for the 3 colors.

If you have other autumn color distress ink and

 would like to use those, feel free to bring them to class.

That should do it, see you on Tuesday.

Art Impressions and Elizabeth Craft Designs

This weekend is my Aunt's 95th birthday 

so I wanted to make a special card.

She has a great sense of humor and

 I knew she would love any of the Art Impression stamps.

Here's what I did.

I used leftover packaging to have the sentiment floating above her head.

Unfortunately I forgot to scan the front.

I used a word bubble and stamped the sentiment,

Okay, light the candles!

and used printed paper with balloons on it.

Thought I would share.

Have a wonderful weekend.

10/14/2014 class @CP2

Here we go, love these flip it cards!

This one has a extended back 

so you don't see the sentiment until you open the card.

Used lots of scrapbook paper on this one,

how easy is that!

Please bring your basic class kit

including a black edger

Enjoy your day,

see you Tuesday,

Today I spoke about this card we will be doing.

I found it online and the artist teaches children.

They did it on canvas with acrylic paints.

We are using paper and distress inks.

Each card uses two colors that are blended in the middle to create a third color.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

paper trimmer

black ink pad, dye based works best

(I used black soot distress ink pad)

make sure it's well inked

expired credit card or similar from junk mail

black edger

small paint brush for touch ups

I used the following distress ink pads with a foam blender

mustard seed & peacock feathers

dusty concord & broken china.

Bring you favorite colors if you wish but make sure you bring the blenders too.

I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful cards and the well wishes,

I do appreciate it.

Have a great week, see you Tuesday.

Birthday celebration day

Sherry

Renee

Me

I have been on a feather kick lately.

Tons of samples on the Internet, tons of sample on pintrest.

I have stamps.

I have dies.

I have stamps with matching dies.

Time to start using them and stop collecting.

This first card (more to come in the future)

is a Hero Arts stamp & die.

There are 4 feathers in the set but only two dies.

This cards uses the two matching stamps & dies.

It is much more vibrant in real life for some reason the scan muted the colors.

We will be coloring the feathers with the wrinkle free distressing.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

non stick craft mat

spray water bottle

black edger

I used broken china & shabby shutters distress ink,

feel free to bring yours if you would like.

That should do it, enjoy your weekend,
