Don't forget classes tomorrow, September 26! See previous blog posts for details.

Enter the September stamping challenge on this blog!  See this blog post for details.  Winners picked randomly.

Now, onto the art...

This page has a background of acrylic paints that are mixed and blended with water.  The final layer is Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist applied through a stencil to give a slight watery shimmer to the page.  The starfish, sand dollar and seahorses were covered with distress embossing powder and real sand to get a great, rough texture.  The netting comes from Michael's, sold in a bag near the sea shells and glass baubles used for home decor.  The whole page is a nummy mixture of different textures and complimentary color!

Directions

Location: 

GrandStay Hotel & Conference Center

7083 153rd Street West
Apple Valley, MN  55124
Phone is 952-953-6111

It is 1.5 miles from the Silver Bullet Studios.  Take County Rd 42 to Galaxie (between Cedar and Johnny Cake Ridge Road) and go south on Galaxie 4 blocks to 153rd, turn right (west) and there is the hotel.

We will be meeting in the Hotel's Board Room which is on the first floor of the Hotel, not the Conference Center.  Enter the hotel, walk past the breakfast area towards the check-in lobby and turn right down the hallway.  We are in a room on the left, just past the ice and vending machines.

June Tim Holtz Challenge

The Tim tag looks pretty close to the original that you can find here.  For the Christmas tag, I used the green ink pad we make to ink the Christmas background stamp - ran it horizontally across the words.  It was a good fast way to ink the stamp in multiple colors.

March Tim Holtz challenge

I had trouble thinking of a Christmas concept to go with Tim's beautiful tag, but now that it is done, I have to admit that I love it!
