COLORING IN MY WORLD

August 2010 Classes

Registrations have begun
INSTANT COLOUR! If you have always wanted to achieve that blended watercolour effect, and never have been able to quite pull it off, you must take these classes! Using Tombow markers (the best artists colouring markers ever invented!) and the luscious colours of Distress Inks (yes you will be water-colouring with these ink pads!) you will achieve the results you always wanted, with ease! You will be working on a wide variety of images in this class, learning lots of tips and techniques. Please bring your #2 and #3 round watercolour brushes, your Distress pads, and your Tombow pens as well as your card kit. All other supplies will be provided. (Little hint- if you are like me and end up with no end of return address labels from the varying charities I donate to, why not put them to good use! Wrap one around each of your Tombow markers, and on the bottom of your ink pads? That way you can easily keep track of your own supplies!)

Please note that there will be two different classes (each one held twice) and you can take one or both, in any order. You will take away two completed card projects (different for each class, see photos) and loads of more images with colour photos and instructions projects you can do at home.

I love to explore the many possibilities of the lowly mylar stencils. So easy and fun to use. I will share my techniques of inking, chalking, heat embossing (how does gold embossing on black sound!) and so much more. You will create at least 4 cards with a serious *How did you do that?* factor.
