Acetate & Tissue

The inspiration for this card was came from Michelle Zindorf, using the 'Acetate & Tissue' technique.   It really was good, but messy, fun to make and my class members really got stuck into this one with enthusiasm.

This technique lends itself well to the 'vintage' look that I like a lot.

Second Look at Shelli's Design

This is one of Shelli Gardner's card layouts.
Shelli used different DSP and stamp set, ones we don't have yet here in New Zealand.
My card uses the 'Faux Linen' technique.

I loved the way all the elements came together and realised I could use the layout with two of my favourite stamp sets 'Sense of Time' and 'Sanded' background.  Unfortunately these sets are retiring soon - but no way am I parting with them!


A truly inspired card layout stands the test of time!

Technique Class

On the last Sunday of each month I hold a Technique Club with my 'Gorgeous Girls' Group.

The techniques we are using are available for purchase from Tania Kronberg and have Basic, Intermediate & Advanced techniques (120 in all!!).

In the first class the GGs were given their packs: Two 6" x 6" Books, Technique Lists, Instructions for 120 techniques and sample pictures for 120 techniques.

During the first class we covered one of our books (the other to be taken home for covering).

The GGs were give free reign of my craft room and came up with some beautiful book cover designs - a testament to their creativity.

Here are Mary Beuker's two books:

We also made three cards covering seven of the techniques. 

Each club member takes home an information sheet detailing the stamp sets, card stock, ink & accessories used for each card and the techniques covered during the day.
These and more cover designs will be spotlighted in the days to come.
