Last class for October, unbelievable!

Since autumn is in the air I thought I would follow suit!

We will be inking a strip of paper and then die cutting the leaves with 

Tim's Autumn Gatherings die.

I also pulled out a Penny Black set of words,

I will bring all three so you have the choice of sentiments.

Please bring your basic class kit 

including

ballpoint glue pen

tweezers

gold edger

I used the following distress inks,

you can bring whichever autumn colors you own and blenders.

gathered twigs

fossilized amber

rusty hinge

aged mahogany

seedless preserves

That should do it!

Remind me to talk about November birthdays.

Enjoy your day!

Sorry I'm behind this week, 

still recovering from two huge classes last weekend.

But they both were a blast and I loved every minute.

On to this weeks card, 

I decided to use an Impression Obsession Stamp,

by the way they are this months featured catalog.

All IO purchases of on hand stock and special orders will receive a discount!

So sample #1 went into the trash.

Sample #2 is a little blah.

But loving the wilted violet color.

Elizabeth is ordering more, so if you want one let her know.

Sample #3 loving it!

 Sample #4

Swooning, this is my color!

The next one I may try combing the two colors.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

black or gold edger

your favorite distress ink 

blending tool

That should do it.

Enjoy your day and see you on Thursday.

As the temperatures cool down I'm ready for an Indian summer!

This card was made with a Dare 2B Artzy set called feathers.

The color shift is subtle but I love the warmth it brings.

Gold is so popular right now I thought it would be the perfect finishing touch!

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

feminine with a simple change of colors.

worked behind the open feather.

Simple masking and an ink applicator to color the image.

Add a little dry embossing and you're done.

After several new catalogs from Hero Arts

 that I couldn't find anything I had to have,

 this latest one I hit the jackpot!

They have released a series of color layering stamps 

that are wonderful.

OK I can hear y'all thinking that's nothing new.
There are many color layering florals,
but I just love the bird & butterfly sets Hero Arts came out with.
I also used one of the new ombre ink pads on the background.
So here's my card, all stamping!

Please bring your basic class kit including

a black edger.

That's it, see you Thursday!

you can make so many different combinations from one set.
