Stamp With Us Retreat class

Here is one of my classes from the Stamp With Us Retreat.  It's a canvas!  For someone who loves clean and simple, for some reason when I am doing my classes, I always seem to do a technique type of class - I guess I want people to come away thinking that they have learnt something and not just been cutting and sticking all weekend!

So above is a canvas that started off white but I sprayed it with watered down re-inker and then watered down Shimmer Paint (new catalogue item!!!).  The re-inker obviously gave it it's colour and the shimmer paint - WOW - if you want shimmer and sparkle, then the Champagne Mist paint is the way to go!  With added ink and paint around the edges to give some definition, I set about doing something different with all of the nine hearts.  There was tone on tone stamping, stitching, felt, embossing, stamping into funky foam, heat & stick and NEW stamp sets.  You may just be able to spy the I (heart) hearts stamp set and the Tiny Tags stamp set and punch.

Just to remind you, all the new Mini Catalogue items will be available to purchase from this Thursday 1st April - woo hoo !!!
