Well hello there! Here it is Tuesday afternoon and I’ve finally been able to sit down and write a blog post. Yesterday was workout day and once I got home I started in on finishing up some class samples. YES, I said class samples. It was announced in The Queen’s Ink Newsletter that I’ll be there in June teaching some classes using Spellbinders™ Die Templates and Graphic 45 papers. To be exact, I’ll be there the weekend of June 8, 9 and 10. I’ll be teaching a Chunky Tag and an altered picture frame so far. I have one more class planned but I’m waiting on product to arrive at my door step so I can finish up a sample. I’ve got some samples to post in a few days so you can see what the fuss has been all about!
I’m pondering making enough samples for these classes that I’ll have some left over and then I can offer some classes for you local gals (Kentucky/Indiana area) as well. What do you think about that?
The other day I mentioned that I had visited my friends from Our Daily Bread Designs at the stamp show last weekend. One of my purchases that day was a poppy stamp from their booth. Now I’ve searched their website every which way I can, and have only found the stamp in a set – Serve the Lord. I purchased it as a single, Crocheted Poppy. You know it’s hard for me to pass up a good flower stamp!
So anyho, here’s what I came up with . . . I started coloring it on Saturday evening when I got in.
The paper is some that I also picked up at the show, My Mind’s Eye Union Square – Rosy. I just noticed that eclectic Paperie also has it, and it’s on sale! (guess I should have waited to buy it)
I didn’t like the harshness of the border with the flower, so I went around it with a Stardust pen. Hoping you can see the shimmer in the close-up. If you can’t, click on the image to make it larger!
The seam binding is some extra that I had in the drawer (probably dyed with Antique Linen in varying shades) that I just grabbed and threw it together.
For those interested, here are the Copic Markers that I used.
When I was at the stamp show, Gary Burlin gave me one of his Copic Coloring Charts . . . boy is it easy to see what colors to use now!
I guess that’s all I have today . . . well at least my mind is telling me that! Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, embrace the adventures that come your way today!
