Several people could not make the Christmas in July, Stamp a stack and have been asking me to make another day. Sooooo I have decided to yield to the demands and have another one planned for Sunday afternoon August 17th.

Ombre technique class cards

This weeks technique class was the Ombre Technique. I really love this technique and can see so much potential in it. Here are the cards we made. Of course as usual we got a bit carried away so everyone decided to do different colours and punches. Unfortunately I didn't get to take photos of all the lovely creations.

 

This looked lovely in the pinks and purples as well. We used the paint daubers and masked with scrap paper all the way down. Very arty, love it.

These 2 cards were only some of the punches and stamps we used.

 

 

The butterfly was very popular and I loved the green tones that one of the girls used. It turned out so pretty.

This tag used the white glossy card that we no longer have. (Sad) We sponged 3 different colours down the tag. Then embossed, then sponged over the tag again. Looked stunning. Got lots of oohs and aahs.

This last one used strips of water colour paper and then each strip was coloured using the Aqua painters filled with the ink refill colour.

They're excited to announce that with the release of the upcoming 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue, we will have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps. Our top-quality photopolymer stamps stick extremely well on our acrylic blocks, are durable, and the transparent nature of these sets makes it easier to line up your images without the need of a guide.

Hey Hombre'!! - May class

Who remembers that movie? Well we are not heading into the Mexican Desert but if you would like to head over to my studio I will show you the Ombre' technique in my May class.

What does the word Ombre' mean?

It seems to be, that it refers to something that is monochromatic but has a graduated variation in the saturation of the colour.

In my researching of what is Ombre' I found that Ombre' Hair colouring was very popular. How cool! Then there is clothing.

Well enough rambling, sorry, I just find this technique so interesting! Here are the details of my Ombre' technique classes, and a little tempter.

 

Ombre class $10

• Wednesday morning 7th May 10am 
• Wednesday evening 7th May 7 pm 
• Friday evening 9th May 7pm 

Please let me know if you would like to book a place by either emailing me or phoning.
