Stenciled Card Class #3

I am in love with this stencil from Crafter's Workshop - Echoes! I love it! I used versa mark ink though the stencil, embossed and sponged on color with 3 SU inks (Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, & Calypso Coral). Other supplies - SU coral ribbon, Verve Stamp, PTI Fillable Frame Die #11

Stenciled On line Day 1 #2

I love Laura Bassen, she totally cracks me up, and I love her style. She did an amazing card for day1, so I tried my hand at her technique- Embossing with Versa Mark and a stencil. I used a doily stencil (I had to mask off the edges of the doily to create an edge). I then used Tim Holtz Distress- Peacock Feathers and Broken Glass to sponge on the background. I love the results! The sentiment is from Papertrey. I plan to make more of these. Simple is really my style- and I hope you like it!

Stenciled On Line class Day 1

This class has been even more than I excepted.  Jennifer showed an awesome idea of shifting your stencils and applying another color, so I combined that with Julie's spray mist technique and this is the outcome. I covered the hearts with glossy accent and the sentiment is a die from paper smooches. I hope you like it, I just can't wait for more ideas! (Sorry, I have been absent from my blog = Crazy life!)

Supplies: Spray - Heidi Swap, stencil-?, die- paper smooches, CS- Stampin Up, Heart die - Simon Says. 

Tim Holt Chemistry 102- Eroded Metal

Supplies- Tattered Leaves die, Hero Arts Stamp, Distress Paint- Peeled Paint, Broken China, Bronze, PP My Minds Eye. SU - Choc Chip Ink, and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. 

Creative Chemistry 102

I have been having so much fun watching the videos this week. I don't have all my new Tim Holtz products yet.  I ordered them over a week ago and they still have not ship from SSS.  I am not sad or anything ;-(  So, I am playing along with what I have.  I embossed my new Penny Black stamp and then used distress pads and a foam applicator to create a sunset. Finally, I used Tim's spritz and flick technique to distress it a little. I really didn't want to define the edge of the paper with a brown so Tim mentioned using Chipped Sapphire for the same look around the edges.  I really like that. (One of those duh, why didn't I think of that moments.)  Thanks for visiting!

The Insider Class

So sad this is such a short class. I am loving it and all the videos. I think Jennifer McGuire made me fall in love with my Distress pads. I have most all of the colors but they don't get used much. I love this simple watercoloring that Jennifer taught on the first day. Thanks Jennifer!

Supplies: Distress pads, water color brush, PTI Friends Till the End Stamp Set, SU Chocolate Chip Ink & CS, Watercolor paper - art supply for Michaels.
