Technique Class - Alcohol Blending Markers & Cool Effects

 

Register by June 1, 2021 by clicking here.

Alcohol markers are very popular amongst artists and crafters and originated in Japan for the animation, architectural, and fashion industries. They  are used to add dimension and depth to their artwork and anime. They are great for blending, create shades, tints and ombrés by overlaying colors. In this class, we will explore the use of alcohol markers to make some cards. We will use them on vellum, embossed paper, and preprinted paper. This class has two 1 hour sessions. Materials are included and are yours to keep. The markers included in this class are quality Stampin' Blends alcohol markers valued at $36. There is a brush end and a fine tip end and the rectangular barrel prevents them from rolling off your surface.

The class will span two sessions: Saturdays 2-3 PM, June 12 & June 19

It will also be available on video for those who cannot attend or for review.

May 7: 2021 - 2022 Annual Catalog Blog Hop

Hello folks. It's the beginning  of May and there has been much excitement around the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalogue that was released on May 4th! You can download it on my website (either on the sidebar if you are on your laptop or scroll further down if you have a mobile device). 

One of the highly anticipated reveal is the new set of In Colors which is available from 2021-2023. The lovely cool modern colors work so well together and I love that they are available on card stock, ink, and ribbon, and even rhinestone. I made the Simply Succulent card below with three of the colors - Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent.
