Yeah.... We had Classes

Well all the nasty white stuff has gone and finally had a class this week. In fact it was 2 rolled into one, the first was to show how to use a  A6 frame embossing folder different ways, first 3, Standard and sponged edges to highlight, next just using 2 strips, and then elongating it, as in the zebra photo,the frame in this one is about 7" long
Also making it into a 4" square and narrowing it at the sides, these cards are quite basic but we were concentrating on using the one folder

With all the new dies and gadgets, inks and micas about nowadays, we sometimes forget about the old techniques which a lot of new crafters have never seen, so for this weeks class I have gone back a bit We did the good old fashioned embossed resist, I still love the effect of this technique, here you go using different leaf stamps, versamark, clear embossing powder and sponged ink, lovely result
The other one as to do partial embossing on your embossing machine,stamped in the "gap" and chalked the embossing, the butterfly is made from a stamped and punched out flower.
Enjoy
