It's Class Day!

 

Good morning, happy Friday. Yes, it's time for the first two classes of 2015. It seems ages since the Christmas party classes, so it will be lovely to see everyone.

 

I have nothing new to show you today, I'm saving all my new samples for the next few weeks. But I did have two pieces leftover from my Creative Palette backgrounds, so waste not, want not, I used them on two more cards..............

 

 

I stamped the Woodware Clear Magic Wheat stamp on both, with Onyx Black Versafine & heat set with WOW Clear Gloss embossing powder.

 

Before the stamping I added splatters of Gold Brocade Silkies to the paler background & splatters of Bronze Brocade to the darker background & the splatters resisted the Versafine ink.

 

I used the Wheat stamp directly onto the card blanks too, just lightly with Boysenberry & Ash Rose Versacolor inks to get a faded appearance.

 

The seed head & the sentiment are both from Hobby Art's 'Anna's Collection - Just For You' stamp set.

 

That's all for today. Remember that the shop will be open, from 2.30 this afternoon to 9.30 tonight, so even if you're not attending a class feel free to drop by; Fant Hall, Barming ME16 8NN

 

Also, we're into the final two days of the January blog challenge, so you've still time to enter. The February blog challenge will start on Sunday.

 

                 

 

I will be back sometime tomorrow with a review of today's classes. Until then, happy crafting.

Creative Palette Backgrounds, part two

 

Good morning, Kirsten here. Just a quick post to show you the cards I made from the two backgrounds I shared in Tuesday's post.

 

 

 

The first one is the direct to paper background.................

 

 

 I blended Antique Linen distress ink on top & splattered a mix of gesso & water over that - the result is quite a wintry look I thought. I used the same stamps, from Hobby Art Decorative Backgrounds set & Anna's Collection - Just For You set, inked with Versacolor inks for the focal image.

 

(The 30% off regular Hobby Art stamps will end on Saturday at midnight)

 

The second card is the Creative Palette background left as it was..........

  

 

 

       

 

That's it for today. Thanks for looking. Have a great weekend & don't forget to visit the Mega Sale page on the website, there are still quite a few bargains to be had.

 

Kirsten.
