Fun with Distress Inks

Some samples made for a workshop on Saturday 22nd May, using Distress inks and a variety of stamps to make ATCs and a notebook. Fun!

Never ending cards

Four views of the same card:

This was really fun to do and nowhere near as hard as it looks. I had never made a never-ending card before (but I didn't let a little thing like that stop me advertising a workshop LOL!!) and I couldn't quite work out why they were called never ending cards. Now, I know! The mechanics of this are so simple yet the end results are fascinating........... I've gone for a traditional look here but you could make these as fun and funky as you want. You could even add photos for a special occasion.......

I'll be seeing some of you on Saturday 27th to make these.........

Easel Cards

I have made a slight change to the advertised programme for my workshop this coming Saturday (I don't think anyone will mind!) We will be making easel cards as these can be as complicated or as simple as you like. Here is a more complicated version for those who like a bit more of a challenge, using Crafty Individuals papers and images.

Here you can see how it stands up:

And another close up here showing detail of the 3-d punched flowers and butterfly:

And here is a simple Christmas version using a sizzix die in the Big Shot. Great if you need to make a few Christmas cards in a hurry (unless of course you have got them all done already!)

See you on Saturday! Dates for the workshops next term are in the sidebar.

Bye for now :-)

Children's Parties

These photos were taken at a party I did recently for an 8 year old. Thirteen 8 year olds managed to produce these fabulous canvases in 1 1/2 hours. We even managed to clean up the mess in record time!

The images came from the fabulous Lisa's Altered Art. Go check it out! Of course, 8 year old girls just love kittens!
