Techniques Class


Throughout the summer I have been doing a techniques class. This last Tuesday was the last class of the summer. Here are the two cards my customers created after learning their new techniques.
The first technique was watercoloring roses from the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. Patty does a great tutorial if you are interested.
The next technique was the mosaic technique. I learned this from a fellow demonstrator. It's a great way to use up DSP scraps that you just can't seem to throw away.
Mosaic directions
1. Cut up 1/2" strips of Designer Series Paper (DSP) into small pieces. The pieces do not need to be the same shape or size.
2. Arrange your pieces onto a sticky sheet of paper (I used a mailing label).
3. Once you have arranged your randomly cut scraps onto the sticky paper sprinkle embossing powder over your sheet. Shake off the extra powder and emboss with your heat tool.
4. Add to the front of your card and embellish as desired.
