Spotlight technique classes

This was a quiet month for classes. However it gave me the time to get my new studio organised. The ladies that came thoroughly enjoyed the technique of Spotlighting and Reverse Spotlighting.

As usual I loved all the samples I made for the classes and couldn't decide which one the ladies should do so, I let them choose.  Here was their first choice, this is reverse spotlighting. Reverse spotlighting is achieved by highlighting part of your image by punching a window and layering a stamped image underneath. In this first card we created several punched out windows using the Hexagon die. We stamped some bees and then stamped the bees again on to Crushed Curry card and cut them out. We then layered several of the bees underneath.

For the next Reverse spotlight card, we used our flowers. So different from the first but very pretty. Each of the ladies that chose to do this card used different colours and it was very interesting to see the dramatic differences in soft and bright colours.

The next card, and yes, yet again another choice. Soft spotlighting and framed spotlighting. The soft one is achieved by punching or ripping out a shape and colouring it in. This is then glued directly over the stamped image. Such a lovely soft and delicate image is achieved.

So pretty, but then so is this one. I love the framed spotlight, which is your favourite?

Our final card was clean and simple. Stamp an image in Basic Gray and then punch a circle and stamp on the circle in a colour. This got popped up with a dimensional. Very simple and quick to do. I love this technique, how about you?

Faux Silk Class done and dusted

This was such a popular technique class and so easy to create beautiful cards.
This first card used DSP as the background for the silk. Glue was run over the DSP and then the tissue was crinkled up and then spread out over it. A very quick and easy way of making a very pretty card.


This card was created by first stamping on the card and then glue was run over the card. The tissue was then crinkled up and spread over the card. I then ran it through the Big Shot.


Finally we did this beautiful card. The top layer was stamped with Stazon, on to the tissue and then with the Aqua painter the flowers were filled in. Glue was run over the card. Then the tissue was crinkled up and spread over the card.
The bottom layer was created by stamping with Stazon directly on to the card and then filled in with the Aqua painter. Glue was run over this card. Then the tissue was crinkled up and spread over the card.

A day of silliness

What a crazy, fun day I had yesterday at the Brisbane Bayside Papercraft Group. Thanks ladies for such a silly day. I had huge intentions of doing a pile of Punch Art to put into an example folder. The mood of the day changed all that.

I did however make two lovely cards demonstrated by our lovely Liz.

Today one of them is going to a close friend as a 50th card.
They were made from the FREE products that everyone can get during February & March.
