Well, Labor day has come and gone. School is now in session and summer is over – even though the weather may indicate otherwise. It’s time for you to go back to Card class! My September card class is on Friday, September 12 at 10 am or 7pm. We are going to be making these great cards using some colorful fall colors (but not the colors of the typical fall foliage).
I know these flowers are really Poppies from the hostess set “Bloom with Hope” and poppies bloom in the spring, but, by adding different colors, don’t they look like zinnias? My zinnias are in full bloom and I just “painted” the same colors with my aqua painter.
For this next card, I used my aqua painters again. I think they had dust on them because I haven’t used them in so long. This time, I used watercolor paper and painted a background. Once it was dry, I stamped a thank you from the “watercolor thank you” set on top and put the card together with some textured paper (textured from my Big Shot). I think it’s pretty striking, what do you think?
Lastly, I found this card on Pinterest and knew I had to copy it. “Kinda Eclectic” is one of my new favorite sets. I loved how the stamping is done first and then you add some ink (with a brayer) to the embossing folder and then run it through the Big Shot. Pretty cool effect. Can you see the crumb cake in in the crannies of the honeycomb? The smaller butterfly looks a little pink in the photo, but it’s really vellum – another item I haven’t used in a long time.
I hope that you can join us for class!
