Craft Mat

Card bases in slimline or A2 (your choice). Slimline 3 1/2 x 8 1/2

Watercolor Cardstock or Heavy Black cardstock 4 x 5 1/4 or 3 1/4 x 8 1/4

Anti-static powder

Heat Gun

Acrylic block or stamping platform that is compatible with the size card you’ve chosen

Splatter Box optional

Both the Ribbon Waves 3D Embossing Folder and One-Go Words and Banners work really well with the butterflies.

I have spent a lot of time playing with this stamp set since I first sent in the class form. It is so versatile, I want you to feel free to mix and match supplies as you are inspired. You are welcome to choose either A2 or Slimline for these cards. Watercolor cardstock or black heavy cardstock can be used on either or both cards, your choice.

We will explore the metallic water colors; the way they blend, and their ability to “run” when water is added. Layering and some dry brushing techniques will add depth and beauty to the butterflies.

You choose how abstract you wish to be. Some of us are happiest staying within the lines. Some are splatterers, some are not. That’s what so great about the show and tell at the end of class.

I hope to see you in more classes. I teach virtually once a month on Bridget Casey’s Free Saturday Workshop and every Second Wednesday. I teach “Live” at Bluemoon Scrapbooking in Tucson, Arizona. My classes are announced in the Altenew Newsletter.
