Hi there Creators, Well we're 1/2 way through the month already, and Wow I now have 2 separate card Classes sorted for September!  the first is our regular class, which is what this post is about, the other is the special Gingerbread Man & Sophisticated Alternative Cracker class (click the link to see, should open in a new window). Anyway back to our regular class for September, which will be on Friday 5th; 1pm in my classroom and Saturday 7th; 10.30am Maryborough Class cost $25 for the 4 cards. As we'll be 4 months out from Christmas, we'll be making one Christmas card at this class (2 in Oct, 3 in Nov, 4 in Dec) 😃  gotta work your way up to it! So, by popular demand I've created this little guy with the sliding "behind".   To see all the "ingredients" click here: Sausage Dog Slider Next up using new goodies is this elegant sympathy card, although it could easily be changed to other sentiments using the same Unbounded Love stamp set, the new P...

Cool! watercolour pencils on black card

Hi Creators,
I was thinking about a gorgeous technique I've done before that uses white embossing on black cardstock then you use the aqua painter to add white craft ink to the design, allow it to dry a bit, then add colour over the top, (it's a little time consuming) and I was wondering if I could produce any other ways of colouring on Black card (I'm sure others have done this too, but I haven't noticed it).  So......enter the Watercolor Pencils , yep they're spelt missing the 'u' in the catalogue (it's an American thing!) although its really hard to spell color that way when you're so used to spelling it colour! lol

However moving on if you're a regular reader of my blog you'll notice that in my class this month we're using this technique on this card:
however I decided to make a video on it, and thought I'd use a different set, that doesn't have quite so much to colour in (keep the video shorter).  This next photo shows what I used to make the card, the watercolor pencils, White craft Ink stamp pad,  the Designer Series Paper is the gorgeous Petal Promenade, and the stamp set is Beautiful You
And finally the video itself:
I hope you enjoy it and it inspires you to dig out your black cardstock and watercolour pencils (don't let it get wet on the card, as the colour then sinks into the card, and disappears)
Happy Stampin'
God Bless
Love
