I am teaching the Dream Canvas class at VIP Scrapbookingś new store in Rochester on Sunday, October 17th from 12:30 -3:30. You will learn to work on canvas, make a grungepaper rose and have some inky fun! Class size is limited so sign up now!

Grunge Roses Class

This fun class is all about the flowers!! We will make grungepaper roses ala Wendy Vecchi as well as other flowers. You will make 3 grunge roses of different sizes so you get lots of practice. We will use the Sizzix Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die to make grungepaper flowers swhich we will cover with dictionary paper for that vintage look and use another izzix die to make little teeny paper roses.

Dream Canvas

This is the canvas we did in the dream canvas class in February. It incorporates lots of things we´ve done in the techniques classes. It has Distress Inks blended on the rose, Perfect Pearls misted on the frame and rose, Distress Stickles on the butterfly, crackle paint on the vine and is edged with a gold Paint Dabber. The frame and vine were cut with Sizzix Dies, the grungepaper rose was made using a Studio 490 stamp and hand cut. The paper is from Cosmo Cricket and the dream stamp is a Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 stamp. The quote, script on the rose and script on the canvas edges were all stamped with Sepia Archival Ink. The entire thing was inspired by a Wendy Vecchi canvas design!

a month to remember












My piece is in row 15, position 9 in the Minneapolis Institute of Art's Foot in the Door Exhibit. It's to the left of the big eye, right above the daisies in glass vase on a blue background. 5" x 7" gets a little lost in the 12" x 12" most people chose to work in. But I like this size!
