In The Meadow class projects

Following on from my previous post, here's another card from my recent

In The Meadow Class

I love how pretty these images are in this stamp set


Watercolouring is so relaxing, you don't need any skills to achieve this beautiful finish, just take an aqua painter, squeeze your ink pad before opening and take ink from the lid to paint with, you will need to continually re-applying ink to colour with.  It doesn't matter if you go over the edges of the stamped image, it just adds to the finished look!


I get so much use from my little flower punch, it really is a must have and comes with two other cute little punches, a heart and a star, the set is called "Itty Bitty Accent Punches", click on the picture below and you will be directed to my online shop for more information.


I still have spaces for my repeat of this class on

£15 for the card kits or £28 to include the stamp set aswell

For Kits in The Mail, just get in touch, you will need to already own the stamps or purchase them as part of the kit as I am not permitted to supply you with stamped images.

In The Meadow Cardmaking Class

I recently ran a class using the 

In The Meadow

stamp set

I have decided to repeat the class on

Thursday 24th March
9.30am - 1.00pm
and
6.30pm - 9.00pm
at my house
spaces will be limited

So here's one of the cards


We used watercolour paper to stamp our images onto and watercoloured them using the Aqua Painters.  I love how simple this technique and just how beautiful the result is, effortless and very theraputic too!


I designed the cards using neutral colours with a little pop of Soft Sky.  Love the Corrugate Cardstock, here I used the Kraft colour, adds great texture to your cards.


If you would like to come along to my class, just get in touch and don't delay as spaces will be limited.

If you live to far away I would be happy to come and teach this class to you and your friends, I would need a minimum of 6 people to attend, all you would need to do is invite your guests and I will do the rest!

This class at your home will be £28.00 per person and include everything you need to create the projects along with your very own In The Meadow Stamp Set to take away with you.

If you would like to have the

KITS IN THE MAIL OPTION

please get in touch and I will give you all the details, again you will be supplied with the pre-cut card kits and the In The Meadow stamps, but will need to provide your own inks and aqua painters to complete your cards.

Alternatively why not place an online order for the stamps, if you spend over £25 and use my HOSTESS CODE I will send you a free little gift in the post to say thank you for shopping with me.

Here's the HOSTESS CODE for March

Birthday Blooms note pad holder

Following my last post, today I am sharing another project from my Saturday event, again using the Birthday Blooms stamps from the Spring/Summer Catalogue which have proved to be very popular, you are all loving it as much as I am!
 
We heat embossed the flower image using a Versamark Ink Pad and White Embossing Powder, setting it with the Heat Tool.
 
 
Again we watercoloured the image using an Aquapainter and ink from the lid of the ink pad, it's always handy to add some drops of ink from the refill bottle of that colour to make it more intense.
 
 
When you untie the bow, open it up and inside is a cute little notepad to write your shopping list on!

Flowering Flourishes Watercolouring

This is a card I made a short while ago and it uses the lovely Flourish stamp from "Flowering Flourishes".
 
I stamped the flourish image with Versamark Ink then stamped down onto my watercolour paper, next I dipped this card layer into White embossing powder and heat embossed using my Heat Tool.
 
Next I took an Aquapainter, squeezed the lids of the ink pads before opening and then once opened I used the ink in the lids to paint onto my embossed flourish.  This is called emboss resist.  I used two subtle colours So Saffron and Mint Macaron.
 
My base card was Basic Gray layered with Smoky Slate.
 
 
 "Your'e in my Thoughts" is a great greeting as it can cover so many different occasions when you just need a card to send to let someone know you are thinking of them.
 
I love to use "Vellum" on my cards, it acts as a layer but it's so delicate it doesn't add and weight or depth.
