So for now I'll show off a few cards I demonstrated at the workshop:
The water coloured card, I love using our watercolour wonder crayons! Have you ever tried using the blender pen to capture the colour off the end of the crayon and then colouring in your image? It creates a different effect instead of just colouring in. Try it!
Stamps: Fun and Fast Notes
Ink: Black Stazon
Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Watercolour paper, Sale-A-Bration Delicate Dots DSP
Accessories: Kiwi Kiss striped grosgrain ribbon, Word window punch, Watercolour Wonder Crayons, Stampin' Dimensionals, Vintage brads, corner rounder, blender pens
The next card is our make-n-take. Can you notice I've taken to clipping the ribbon? I think the left card needs the ribbon dressed up a bit before I send it out for Mother's Day.
Stamps: Petal Pizazz, All Holidays
Ink: Apricot Appeal, More Mustard, Basic Black, Certainly Celery
Paper: Certainly Celery, Whisper White, Vellum
Accessories: Sale-A-Bration So Saffron grosgrain ribbon
