EMBOSSING WATERCOLOR WONDER CRAYONS...

Wow! I only thought I loved the SU! Watercolor Crayons! I recently discovered that an image stamped with them can be embossed while it's still damp. It makes the image look super slick!
The steps:
  • Color the stamp with the crayons (you can blend more than 1 color!)
  • Spritz the stamp with water (I use a fine misting spray bottle)
  • Stamp the image
  • Immediately dust with embossing powder & hit it with the heat gun!

Viola!

PRIVATE STAMP CLASS SAMPLES


These are samples of a card class I did this past weekend. The ladies made 3 of each, most stampers were experienced and one was new. They all did a great job!

I tried something new with this class that I think turned out well. Each of the three cards (per holiday) utilized a different base card color, and the other elements of the card's colors rotated as well. (For example, with the christmas card we used real read, old olive, and river rock, with three different striped background designer papers, and 3 different colors of circles matting the greeting!) That way the three cards of each holiday looked different, plus I didn't deplete my stash of any one color! YAY!

My next Holiday Sampler Classes in September will be making 3 different sets of cards. The spots are filling up fast~ so if you'd like a spot, email me soon!
