Workshop Demo & Sneak Peek!

Happy Friday to you! Yeay for weekends!
Last night I had a workshop, with a hostess*! That's always a fun way to spend a couple hours! This is the card I demonstrated, to feature the Blendabilities. I used them to color the flowers and stems, but also the pearl!! How fun is that?!
AND this same card is going to be part of my upcoming September classes! So here's your sneak peek! I also used the current Retro Sketch for the layout, even tho I tipped the card base to fit the large image...
and, ignore the flaws...things happen when you're rushing at the end of a long day, giggle...

Supplies:
Stamps: Pleasant Poppies
Ink: Memento Black, Blendabilities: Old Olive, Calypso Coral
Paper: Old Olive, Calypso Coral, Whisper White card stocks, Park Lane DP
Accessories: Basic Pearls

*That doesn't happen nearly often enough! Want to volunteer? I would love to do a workshop at YOUR house with YOUR friends and you can keep the FREE hostess benefits with $150 or more in sales!

A different idea...

Remember the gorgeous Watercolor Wonder DP from the Occasions Mini that made THESE cards? That is what inspired me to create these next cards.
I used the Work of Art set and randomly stamped all over this small piece of white paper....

 Then I used the same flower punch (and the current Viva La Verve sketch) and made this card...

 and I used the butterfly punch (and last week's Retro Sketch) to make this card!

And I have tons of paper left to punch more watercolored images out with!

Super Quick

This is the scrapbook page I demonstrated at my workshop this week. I wanted to feature the new Divided Page Protectors, and a clear stamp. I also did a touch of watercoloring on the DP just to show that you can do that. These are truly the fastest pages EVER! ...they're just really hard to take pictures of...
