My friend Deb came over again to play from 10am Saturday until 2pm Monday. One of the things we worked on was the Online Card Class, Rainbow Maker, Days 5 and 6. It was JAM PACKED with techniques. We also used our Copics to color some Laura Burch stamps. This whole layout of cards are so incredibly colorful. I'm so pleased to have a healthy replenishment for my stash...
From the rainbow class, I really enjoyed this technique alot. With Distress inks in the rainbow spectrum, we distressed lightly the cardstock. Then using a stencil, we used VersaMark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The stencil I used from Deb's collection is a Tim Holtz layering stencil called Scribbles. I LOVED this stencilso much, it's now in my cart on Amazon... LOL Then, distressing again over the image, darkens up the areas that were not embossed. What a beautiful effect...
We did some "smooshing" and with the finished pieces, I die-cut this Penny Black feather several times. I used my new Wonky stitches and an old sentiment from Basic Grey to complete this card. Behind the die-cut feather is a light colored shimmer paper. I stamped in Delicata Golden Glitz and heat embossed with clear. The result just knocked my socks off...
When the extended weekend was over, Deb had completed 25 cards and I had completed 21. I've felt I've neglected my cardmaking creativity since the beginning of September so it was awesome to be back at it. I've been doing so much pen palling lately that it's begun to feel like a part time job. I spent the better part of the day, sending these creations off to my peeps... :)
Whoa! These are great! I think I see a card using a stencil in my stash.....
ReplyDeleteI love rainbow cards.....I may just have to take this class!! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
What a fabulous bunch of cards! I love the bright, cheerful rainbow colors!
ReplyDeleteJust an amazing set of cards, so nice to have a friend to craft with and do the on line card class with. I am struggling with it as I don't have a lot of colored ink or stencils. You girls did a super duper job of creating some wonderful, gorgeous cards. I am envious that you both have each other to craft with. I so wish I had someone that lived close to me that makes cards.
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks like you ham an amazing and successful weekend! I love your fun colorful cards! I seem to stuck in a rut of coloring but not making cards. That needs to change!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I've been thinking about taking this class, and I do believe this has put me over the edge... Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, love the rainbow effect you got. I must try that. I too wish I had someone close by to make cards with.
