Spring Inspirations from Memory Box

After weeks of wrapping up things, I finally got around to making a couple of Spring Cards. This first card was made using the new Dotty Tree from the Memory Box Easter Release. The base card was made from Memory Box brown paper. The image was stamped on white Memory Box textured soiree paper and was matted using paper from the 6 x 6 Frond paper. I stamped the image in Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate and colored the image with Copics. The light tinted blue background was created by airbrushing it with Copics. The airbrushing allows you to create a nice subtle background. I first add a blue ribbon that was the same color of the bluebirds but I was not sure that it added more or if it took away. Anytime I am in doubt, I go with the less is more approach.

I love pink and brown color combinations. This card was created using Memory Box brown paper as the base card. The image was stamped on Cream Textured Soiree Paper and was matted using paper from the 6 x 6 Gossamer paper. The stamps used were the Tree Frame and Vine Border (tiny flower) Stamps from the Memory Box What’s in the Box 2010 Release. The Tree Frame was stamped using Brilliance Pearlescent  Chocolate ink. The flowers were stamped using ColorBox Orchid ink and was accented with Smooch Ink in Taffy.

 

Coming up next, Easter Cards from Melanie using Kitchen Sink and Memory Box Stamps.

Copic Marker Techniques Class - Saturday May 16th 1:00p to 3:00p

Kerri Carlino, Certified Copic Instructor, will be hosting a Copic Marker Technique Class. This class will address many of the fears that stampers have when it comes to using Copic Markers and will show how Copics are an essential tool to rubber stamping. We will show you just how easy it is to achieve exceptional results with these wonderful markers. We will also provide you with printed material to take home with you for referencing. After completion of this Class, you will be confident and comfortable using Copic Markers.

The Following are the Objectives to this Class:

• Show all the benefits and uses of Copics
• Removing the fear and mystery of using Copics
• Teaching and learning thru Demonstrations, Fielding Questions, and Hands on Practice/Mentoring Sessions.

SPECIAL NOTE: This is a TECHNIQUE Class. Since our focus is on Techniques, Demonstrations, and Hands on Practice/Mentoring Sessions, we will NOT be making any cards or projects. There is a lot of material that will be covered in this class; therefore, we feel that making cards or projects will consume valuable time that is needed for the Demonstrations and Hands on Practice/Mentoring.

Due to limited seating, YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER!

Here are the details:

When: Saturday, May 16th

Time: 1:00pm to 3:00

Cost: $25.00
