April Class –some parchment, some stamping..

These are the cards we are doing for April.  The class will be led by Jackie and we will be doing some faux parchment work, some stamping and distressing, and some colouring.

The first card is a monochrome one, with some parchment work background.  For this card, you will need an embossing tool and a pad (mouse mat would be fine) and a fine paintbrush.

The second card will be stamping and distressing with distress inks.  All equipment to do this will be provided.  (Some pre-stamped and distressed kits will be available for those who don’t like doing this)

The third card is an old favourite stamp – a simple exercise in colouring, using watercolour pencils.  Some will be available, but it would be helpful if you have any if you could bring them with you.  Colours may vary from the example.
If anyone doesn’t want to do one of the above cards, a limited number of a bear decoupage sheet will be available.

June 2010

There were two cards on the menu today, courtesy of Jackie...

The first was a bow fronted card, with a stamped and coloured image inside. Oval nestabilities were used to create the aperture, with a contrast colour card used behind the white base card. The image was coloured using promarkers, and there was a choice of five different images - small girl having a picnic, small girl watering flowers, small girl chasing butterflies, small boy collecting apples or a small boy fishing.


The second card was a black and white image, layered onto black and white card and using a black card base. The black layer card was embossed using a cuttlebug folder, to provide some interest.
