A Fancy Flower and a Technique!

Good Day Inky People!


It's a lovely day here in Corner Brook Nl.  The sun is shining and all is right with my world.  I was chatting with Colleen,  my sister,  today and we have decided to make the First Saturday of every month a card class in Stephenville. 

Right now I am offering a class here in Corner Brook on the last Sunday of every month and both she and I thought this was a great idea for everyone in that area.   The next class in Stephenville will be on March 3rd and Colleen will host.  Check out my Business website HERE to see my schedule of up coming classes.


 I have been preparing for a Techniques class that I will be doing tonight. and was playing with one of the techniques.  I have decided to offer Painting with Embossing powder my way, and Crayon Resist. 

Today I have the Crayon Resist card to show you -

I love it!  I did forget to color one of the petals in first with white but hey it still works right?  I used Whisper White for the card base and the stamp set was Flower Fancy.  I also used Glossy card stock for the main image.   I used Cameo Coral, Pool Party, Island Indigo and Poppy Parade for my colors.  Have I mentioned I love the new In-colors for this year.  Thank goodness they will be here next year also.  I hope some of them make the main colors as I will miss them when they finally go. 

Well I have to go and finish designing the last card for the class tonight.  Now usually I am totally prepared but today not so much.  Oh well just as long as I have everything under control by this evening I should be okay. 

Don't forget to check out the Sale A Bration flyer on the upper right hand side of my blog.  Every $60.00 you purchase gets you one of the products listed in this catty.  Don't have  demonstrator?  I would love to be your demo.  I can ship anywhere in Canada!  Just go to my on line store by clicking the Order 24/7 button on the left hand side of my blog.  Have fun!

Fanciful hugs!

Good Day Stampers!


Well I guess you have been wondering where in the heck I have been.  Well I had company over Thursday past and then I was on a road trip to Stephenville and when I got back there was only enough time to get ready for another class on Sunday evening.  Today is unpack and try to get ready for another class tomorrow night.  Yep a lot of packing and repacking!  I apologize for my absence.  But I do have a couple of cute cards to show you that I got done on Thursday evening with my stamping group.

As I have already mentioned we were working with Flower Fancy from the IBC 2011 -2012.

Here you go......

Unfortunately I again needed a sympathy card and this is what we came up with.  I used Wisteria Wonder and Perfect Plum.  I used Very Vanilla as my main color.  I stamped around the card with Wisteria Wonder for a tone on tone look.

Here is Sharon's contribution to the mix.  She used Old Olive for her Backing color.  And she liked the Daffodile Delight flower for the middle.  Funny how our tastes vary!

Then we used some Bashful Blue card stock and tried the Polished Stone technique for the focal image  (Look on the right hand side for Techniques)  I colored in the flower with markers to give it a little more depth and added a retired ribbon in Pacific Point at the top and a couple of circles using the 1 1/4' and 1 3/8" circle punches.  I again used Bashful blue Classic ink to stamp a background on one side of the card.

This was Sharon's version of the same card.  She used a lighter touch with the Polished stone and also a lighter ribbon.  (also retired)  We are trying to use up some left over supplies so when we get together we raid my jars for small pieces of ribbon and what not that I can't bear to throw away lol.

Well that's it for today everyone.  I will hopefully be back tomorrow with something else for you to have a gawk at.  (Newfie speak for look)

Fancy hugs for all!
