Hobby Art Class Cards........

Good morning all,

Well what a week it has been, I seem to be chasing my tail rather a lot these days!!

What a fabulous class we had last Friday and if you missed the blog post review that Kirsten did on the class, click HERE .........

It was so lovely to spend time with you all and get into making Christmas cards, yes I can hear you now saying 'But it is only September and it is still too warm to think about Christmas' but you know I am right when I say it comes round all too quickly! So it is good to get started early, I am always behind when it comes to making all my Christmas cards, so even I am going to start early this year!

So this month was to focus on the gorgeous new designs from Jenny Mayes at Hobby Art and I know a lot of you loved them as you bought them at the class. 

We featured on using the following sets:

Round Robins

Poinsettia

Holly and Ivy

Nature Trail

Christmas Frosting

Now these lovely little plump round robins looked to me like they had a had a little too much to eat and drink, so I thought it would be great fun to do a penny slider card with them. I must admit, I hadn't made one in quite a few years so I had to get my thinking cap back on to how I used to make them!

I was lovely too as quite a few of the ladies in the class had never made one and it is great as your first slider is always so novel and great fun but you usually wear it out before you give it to anyone!!!

Anyway this is the card we made using the lovely Round Robins and Poinsettia Stamp.......

We coloured the images in with Spectrum Aqua markers and a little Antique Linen distress ink on the background........ 

We then brought everything to life with a little Diamond Sparkle Medium.....

The second card was using the gorgeous scene from the Nature Trail stamp set, I adore this set as it has so many possibilities. We also used a Cardio Wreath set which unfortunately have all been sold now and the lovely holly from the Holly and Ivy set and also some wording on the background of the card from the Christmas Frosting set...

We also used the Spectrum Aquas to colour in these images.

Then again adding a little Diamond Sparkle Medium to bring it alive.......

I really enjoyed creating these cards as I love the quality and designs from Hobby Art. Next Wednesday I will be bringing you a mini tutorial using the nature Trail stamp set in a totally different way...... 

I do hope that you have enjoyed the inspiration and have a great week folks.....

Big hugs
