BEAUTY OF THE DEEP

Hello stamping friends . I hope you are doing well . For tonight's Facebook Live I created two totally different cards using the Beauty Of The Deep bundle .

For my first card I used the vellum / alcohol ink technique . i began with a piece of vellum I had adhered to a piece of Basic White card stock . Then I used my Stampin ' Blends alcohol markers to add some ink to this piece . I spritzed it with Isopropyl alcohol 100 % & allowed it to dry . The colours of my blends were lost Lagoon , Pretty Peacock ,Boho Blue , Tahitian Tide , Azure Afternoon & Blueberry Bushel . You can see this process in my video which has now been up loaded to You Tube .

For my next card I cased a card by Michelle Zindorf , a very clever lady who primarily   uses only stamps to create her amazing works of art !

I changed the colours to some that were more to my liking . I used Lemon Lolly , Coastal Cabana , Tahitian Tide & Starry Sky . Then I made the card my own by creating a two step stamping card . You can view this in my video . 

This is how the piece I created at the beginning of the video turned out .

JULY CARD CLASS

 Hello stampers !

Yesterdays class was so much fun ! Thank you for joining me ladies !

Here’s our makes 

The group had the choice of creating a slider card with just the truck or they could use the truck & trailer. I shared a few tips & tricks to make things easier for them & everyone had a different sheet of DSP . It was fun to see all of the different cards created. The truck bundle & Horse & Sleigh DSP are on line exclusives & will NOT be in any catalogue so if you love these products, don’t wait or you will risk missing out .

The next card was a little different to other styles I have created with the tag becoming the closure for the card . Once again everyone had a different sheet of DSP to work with . The DSP & bundle are one of the On line exclusive products , Irresistible Blooms .

The last card was cased from page 101 of the catalogue & uses the Scenic Wonders stamp set . One lady chose to orientate hers on the landscape ( something to do with the fish hooks she said 🤣😂🤣) & it looked amazing .

That’s it for now , enjoy your Sunday xx
