We will change the color using Colorbursts.  
If you own the Ken Oliver Cat Stencil, please bring it. 

I also used black archival ink, versamark and stamping blocks.  I will have a number of stencils but if you have a favorite you want to try - bring it along.  The clean up of the stencil will blow you away. 

If you have your own Color Bursts (or similar product, bring them too!  Each bottle is different in application and you may as well get used to your own!   Don't worry if you don't own them - this is a great place to try them.  You might want to bring some extra watercolor paper; in the same manner that we have extra ink in the alcohol ink class, we will have extra dye here, and occasional ghost prints.

Please note - you can stamp any greetings you want on these - I will have the sayings sets there!

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 December challenge

Don't have the punches, nor is there any place around here to buy them so I used Tim's Idea-ology mini garland - stacked the pine one first and then the boxwood one on top.  Also don't have the bow die or holiday chit chats, so used real ribbon and stamped a saying with the phrase from the new Christmas tree set.  I always do a second tag in a Christmas theme - so for the second one this month I did a blue and white theme.  I used white felt and sprayed it with Blueprint Sketch Distress Spray using Tim's snowflake stencil.  The deer is cut with a Sizzix die and embossed with Tim's snowflake embossing folder.   A few gems for sparkle and an embroidery floss bow and he is good to go....or prance as the case may be.  Merry Christmas one and all...

Please bring:  craft mat, scissors, blending solution if you have it, adhesive, including pop dots, and whatever you use to put on gems.  It is messy, so you might want to bring rubber gloves if you don't like your hands inky!  If you sign up for the class and would like to know what ink colors I am using I will send you a list of the colors for each card.  You may bring the colors if you want or you may use mine.  It will also give you a list so you don't need to take so many notes.  I must tell you that the little red bird card is much cuter in person than in this photo!
