Thursday we had a lot of fun experimenting with colour,
as the Weekly Deals had Stampin’ Ink Refills listed, I created the class around
colour, and even wore a gorgeous dress for the occasion!
Here I am in March wearing the same dress with my
hubby.
For our first project, we played with colour and
created with the “Bokeh Technique”.
The ladies all made a gorgeous card, and not one of
the cards were the same!
For the second project, we used the “Blended Bloom”
stamp set + Aqua Painters to create these gorgeous cards …
Project 1
“Bokeh Technique”
After watching a Tutorial; on Pinterest, I just had to give this new technique a go
+ it is always a pleasure to see how my craft ladies interpret the colours.
The card base for this card is Real Red {{although
later that night we made one with a card base of Calypso Coral}, and the accent
colour is Coastal Cabana.
Stampin’ Ink Refills used were Real Red and Coastal
Cabana {and at the night Class Coastal Cabana + Calypso Coral}.
Vellum was stamped on with Black StazOn, with the words
“Make A Wish” are from the “Perfect Pennants” stamp set, and punched using the
new Note Tag Punch.
The Tag is secured with a Mini Brad, and a Sequin
added for dimension. The ladies choose to use either 2013-2015 In Colour Sequin
Assortment or Frosted Sequins {or both!} for their cards.
For the insert, the cardstock used was Whisper
White, which has been punched using the Heart Border Punch for negative detail.
The world stamp is from “The Open Sea” stamp set, and
the words “Wishing you a wonderful journey through a world of dreams come true!”
is from the “World Of Dreams” stamp set.
A perfect little heart from the “Itty Bitty Accents
Punch Pack” is added for the finishing touch.
Wah-lah … “Bokeh Technique” done!
Project 2
“Blended Bloom” + Aqua Painters
The card base is Crumb Cake, and the ladies got to
choose between Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, or Strawberry Slush for their
theme.
The “Blended Bloom” is stamped with Versamark, and
Heat Tooled with White Embossing Powder.
The flower is then coloured petal by petal with
Aqua Painters and grouping of colours:
Calypso Coral Version : Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, + Tangelo Twist
Coastal Cabana Version : Coastal Cabana, Tempting Turquoise, + Bermuda Bay
Strawberry Slush Version: Blushing Bride, Strawberry Slush, + Melon Mambo
Blendabilities in Calypso Coral
The centre of the flower is coloured with a white
pencil.
The flower is then cut into quarters and adhered to
the contrasting colour, then Dimensionaled on to the card base.
A Very Vintage Designer Button is then threaded
with Thick Bakers Twine, and adhered to the centre of the flower.
The sentiment ”When I need a friend you’re there” is
from the “Choose Happiness” stamp set and is in White Embossing Powder .
The same stamp set has some beautiful leaves which are
stamped in Sahara Sand, and 3 small Pearl Basic Jewels anchor the card on the
lower right hand corner.
The Project Life Corner Punch is used on the
corners of both card and the card insert, which adds another dimension to this
gorgeous card.
For the card insert, a border from the “Choose Happiness”
stamp set is stamped in Sahara Sand, with the small bird overlayed in Early
Espresso.
The sentiment “the best thing about someone like you
is that you bring out the best in everyone” is from the “World Of Dreams” stamp
set and stamped in Early Espresso.
A small Pearl for the eye of the bird finishes this
card off.
Wah-lah … “Blended
Bloom” + Aqua Painters Card done!
For next weeks “Create With Kathe” Class, the
ladies have had a preview, as one of the projects to be made is this gorgeous ”FlowerPot
