Fairy Rose of Winter Workshop (12/8/21)
Thank you so much for signing up for my first evening class. I will continue to teach a class the second Wednesday of the month at 6:00 EST. Watch for announcements of the classes on the Altenew FaceBook Fan Club and on the Altenew website.
Supplies for the first project include:
Fairy Tale Rose stamp set and dies.
Slim Deco Cover Die Set or Nesting Slimline Rectangle Die Set
Hello Winter Stamp and Die Set
White cardstock cut to 3 3 /4″ x 7 3/4″. I prefer heavier cardstock such as 110# Neena. If you are making a tag, cut 2 of these pieces to be glued together for stability.
Enough water color paper for 3 of the roses and Winter Sentiment
Gold mirror card stock to cut deco or rectangle die and sentiment
(Optional double sided adhesive paper for rectangle die)
Clear embossing ink pad and Antique Gold embossing Powder
The four crisp die ink pads from the Lapis Luizi family.
Black Ink Pad
Pure White Ink Spray or White Acrylic Paint for Splatters
Acrylic Block or Misti
Pallet for mixing water color
Paint Brush
Blending Brush (I use two of the large for blue and black).
Two cups of water for cleaning brush
Additional Supplies for Card #2
A2 Card Base and 4 x 5 1/4″ Card Front from White card stock
Prior to class Cut cardstock for both projects.
Go ahead and die cut the deco or rectangle frame from gold mirror cardstock if you wish. (The Deco Frame is intricate and may require a couple passes through your die cut machine or a shim. You may choose to use double-sided adhesive paper for this element.)
Making Projects #1
