Embossing technique class

Heat embossing is a little bit of magic. It still excites me when I see the powder melt and the glossy images appear.  I have experimented with this technique and come up with some lovely cards for this weeks class.

If you would like to attend this class and make these 3 gorgeous cards, please let me know as I need to prepare the kits.

When:Wednesday 26th April 10am
Cost: $10
Where: Zena's Craft Studio in Wellington Point (email me for the address)

Please RSVP so that I can prepare all the kits. Please bring your ‘basic kit’ to each class. This includes a paper trimmer, tape runner, double sided foam tape, multipurpose liquid adhesive and scissors.

 * If you are a beginner and do not have a kit, there will be kits available for sale.

Back to the ole blackboard days

I love this technique that is around at the moment. It is the blackboard technique and it allows for you to be messy. I held back on trying it out as I find it a bit hard as I try not to be messy.

However at our Demonstrators meeting today I was taken out of my comfort zone.

Rebecca Ross showed us her version of the technique and I must say I loved it. We stamped images in White Craft ink and then embossed in white embossing powder. Then we lightly dragged the white ink across the card with a sponge, making it look like the rubbed out chalk on a blackboard.

Well I liked it so much that I had to try it again when I got home. Here is my version.
