...the sun is actually out creating a beautiful end to a lovely day.
I've been busy playing...
I have spent the day over at
Pinnacle Crafts attending one of Andy's "Tim Holtz style days" - lots of lovely ladies to share the crafting experience with and lots of products to play with.

I went prepared LOL
Andy now includes a note on the lessons list that 'old cloths, aprons, gloves etc.' are to be considered as the materials used will involve MESS

All the techniques tried were used on ATC sized pieces of paper and card.

We played with the new Distress Inks, Distress Ink pads, Adirondack Inks and Ink pads. Embossing, De-bossing, Marbling and Stamping. We used greyboard, glossy card, matt card, foiled (not miri) card, Kraft Resist papers and a variety of dies & embossing folders.

Playing with colour combinations is one of the great things about Andy's classes - he lets us try anything we fancy...something we probably wouldn't do at home a) because we wouldn't have the range of products and b) we would probably be concerned about wasting stuff.

Of all the ATC sized pieces that we ended up with we chose 8 to mount on a display board (a sheet of A4 greyboard covered with Kraft resist paper that we had coloured however we wanted.
We all had a lot of fun and despite the gloves I did manage to get ink on my hands, fingers and up my arms but not too much LOL
Thank you Andy for another wonderful 'play-day'.................................
