Where To Start??
I have so many new projects I’ve been working on – I hardly know where to start! First let me tell you about a fabulous class I went to last weekend. It was taught by Jen Starr – representing Ranger, Prima, and Tattered Angels (sounds too good to be true right there -doesn’t it?). It was fantastic, and if you get the chance to take a class from Jen – I highly recommend it!
What did we make? This first one I’ll show you is a 2 page Layout:
One of things that made that class so wonderful for me – was all of the techniques we learned. I love Ranger inks, and Tattered Angels Glimmer mists – but who knew you could use them in so many ways? For this layout we learned how to emboss the white lettering, and then blend and mix the colors for painting in the letters! Here I used Colorwash Spray colors from Ranger, and then added some Perfect Pearls in for a little extra glimmer. We made those flower embellishments. That’s Tim Holtz’s Grunge Board (cool stuff) and I colored it again with the Colorwash Spray – blending my colors, adding some Stickles Glitter. I’m not especially proficient with scissors – so I did use Ellison die cuts for the flowers – the Big Shot and the dies had no trouble cutting the Grunge Board. I added a Stampin Up Die Cut (TopNote) for the journaling, and on the darker purple, I’ll be adding 9 (3×3) photos in a grid layout!
So much fun!
