November 21st class - Christmas cards with alcohol inks

Christmas cards with alcohol inks 

class makes 5 cards for $25

November 21st 1 pm - 3:30 pm

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!

November 2015 Tim Holtz Tag Challenge

So, so fun!  Used a grid stamp in place of the linen stamp and the word Beautiful from a Tim Holtz die set, but otherwise pretty close to the original.  Loved the pumpkin technique.  For the Christmas tag I used the snowman stamp and blues and purples.  His puffiness from the debossing technique is really cute in real life.  Sometimes photos just don't capture the dimension!
