Workshop Cards W130, W131, W132

Here are some more cards we made at Joanne’s October workshop.

Workshop Card W130

Paper: Sahara Sand, Wisteria Wonder, Vanilla, Wild Wasabi, Newsprint DSP, Neutrals DSP.

Stamps: Autumn Fest, Well Scripted.

Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Wild Wasabi, Crushed Curry.

Workshop Card W131

Paper: White, Gold.

Stamps: Winter Post, For All Things, Lovely as a Tree.

Ink: Crumb Cake.

Embellishments: Neutrals candy dots, Woodland EF.

Punches: Snowflake.

We first embossed a separate piece of cardstock with the Woodland EF then inked the smear stamp from For All Things with Crumb Cake and gently swiped the raised part of the cardstock.

Workshop Card W132

This card does not scan as pretty as it looks.  It is full of glitter!  To make the snowflake, we smeared Versamark on a 2x2” piece of Island Indigo cardstock, covered it with Heat and Stick powder and melted that.  While it was still hot, we covered it with Dazzling Diamonds and heated it again then punched out the snowflake.  For the card front, we used the brayer to add ink to the flat side of the embossing folder then did the same technique as the snowflake to add glitter to it.  I hand cut the label for the Warm Wishes.

Paper: White, Island Indigo.

Stamps: Warm Wishes.

Ink: Island Indigo, Versamark.

Embellishments: Dazzling Diamonds, Heat and Stick powder, Woodland EF, Iced Rhinestones.
