SCC2-Week 3

Hello bloggers,

It's hard to believe that we are coming to the end of week three already. I have a few class samples to show you and a little project I did with my friend Molly. The Hiawatha library has a grant and does an art project each month for the community. But first let me show you the cards from class. 

These were for one of the color challenges. I was having a problem with this combination but Jennifer showed me a way to use it in a simple way.

The combo had two brown, two purple, blue and white. How did I do?

I tried these using some embossing powder I got from P K Glitz.  I really loved doing these. They have a simple yet elegant style.

This is the project I made at the library. 

We used the covers from dilapidated books. The covers were fitted with wood pieces to make them into a box shape with an open top. 

I decided I can use mine for storage or just to collect scraps. Not everyone has an elegant scrap bin. 

I was trying out some new pigment inks and the Viva Inka Gold.

Below is a view from the top showing storage.

I hope you have a crafty weekend planned. I am going to play with my buddies tomorrow and get inky. ttfn

SUMMER card camp 2

Hello everybody,

Week one of summer card camp 2 is already done. My Sunday will be filled with playing in the studio. This first card is a selection from day five. I chose the color combo from the additional selections for the week. If you are in class you  will know that it's the third one in the group. The colors include orange, magenta, purple and turquoise along with white. So here's the card I did.  This window card is patterned after a card created  by Kristina Werner. I embossed some packaging for the circle window. Next time I think I will use a little thinner material. It was a bit thick for cutting with the thin dies. 

I just got a shipment from Simon Says Stamp and really wanted to use some of my new supplies. They carry an amazing collection of stamps and dies. 

These are K and Company papers I have had for some time. You can use just about anything as long as you follow the color rules in class. 

The packaging really did emboss nicely. Too bad it didn't cut better. I an loving using colors that I normally would not put together. I have so much paper in packs that I thought I would never use, but now I think I will be brave and try combinations that feel abnormal to me when starting a project. Thanks for stopping by. I always love your comments.
