Make 5 card class February 26, 2008

This is a set of 5 cards I made at a card making class at our local scrap book store called Roberts Crafts in Provo, Utah. The teacher, Isabell, is an awesome teacher. She teaches a card class once a month. These cards are made with Basic Grey Two scoops paper and embellished with ribbon, Bazzill Bling flower, brads and inked with Pastel Lime Color Box liquid chalk. We also used a stamp and VersaMark from Tsukineko, Inc. with Pebbles in My Pocket chalks to stamp a design on one card.

Spring Elements - animals and bugs

As part of the spring swap, we created animals and bugs. They were soooooo much fun. They are embellished with Stickles and Liquid Pearls from Ranger Inks. the rabbit was colored with Prisma colored pencils and blended with mineral spirits and blending sticks.

Spring Elements - Flowers

Like everyone else, it seams, I can't wait for spring to come. I joined a spring swap. Our first challenge was to create 8 flowers. They are embellished with Liquid Pearls and Stickles from Ranger Inks. There is also some inking done with Color Box liquid cat eye chalks.
