LYDIA’S CLASS

Lydia Carrell taught a class at the last group meeting.  I’m showing Marcie’s attempt at the card, which she made at home.  The background is covered in Tim Holtz Distress Ink”  Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon.  A spritz of water and a quick dab of a paper towel, then some additional Mermaid Lagoon over a Tim Holtz Stencil.  Add a bit more Mermaid Lagoon on the floral rubber stamp to give it just a bit more pop (Lydia also used a small “spatter” stamp to add color).  Stamp the flower twice.  The flower in the sample is by Studio 490.  Instead of coloring the flower with Distress Ink Marcie chose to color her flower with Copic Markers.  The bottom flower was taped to the card and the top flower petals were “stretched” a bit to give the flower some depth.  Great class.  Love the card.

SYLVIA SMITHBERGER

A bit of Day of the Dead with a touch of Frida, Sylvia did a great job on the card for the fabric challenge.  I don’t know where she found the fabric (it’s part of a collection by Alexander Henry) but she used it well.  Fantastic card.

HANNAH MACGREGOR

This pretty fairy was created for the Nursery Rhymes challenge.  Hannah did a great job coloring her (Graphics 45 perhaps) and putting the card together.  So pretty.

CHANDA NELSON

A great card by Chanda.  She used the Stampington & Company image but this version has been stamped and embossed with black.  She really shows up against the glittery background.  The background is gorgeous, possibly done with Gelatos and a swipe of a Stella pen.  Fantastic card. 

TERRI HOOPER

This lovely lady is Terri’s submission for the Under the Sea challenge.  Great colors and lots of bling.  Wonderful job. 

MARCIE LOFGREN

Marcie took a different path for the wine challenge.  The image is by Stampington & Company and was stamped using white embossing powder.  She was then outlined with a black glaze pen.  A flower was added using Tim Holtz Mini Tattered Floral die.  So cute.

LYDIA CARRELL

Lydia created this ATC for the metal challenge.  The splattered and stamped background looks great with the crow image and the metal wheel is a great addition.  Wonderful card.
