Stamping Details Class for March 2012

Another class for Stamping Details....this is Adirondack Alcohol Inks on Canvas...a great new coloring technique that I discovered when playing around with AAI...this is 4" x 4"...it is an original drawing of mine but this technique can be used on almost anything you want to color including the new Tim Holtz Market Butterfly Bag...I did a 5 x 5 canvas like this for the Savannah Diabetes Assoc. auction a few years ago....


I am doing two add'l classes on Sunday the 4th...the Tim Holtz G-45 Necklace and an 8 page Altered Journal Project....

12 x 12 Tim Holtz Canvases for Stampin Post

Deb from The Stampin Post gave me a challenge while I was visiting So. CA....she had just received these 12x12 burlap/paper canvases from the new Tim Holtz collection and no one could figure out what to do with them....this is what popped in my brain at the time...Deb had me take the two canvases and created...now the canvases are off to her store in Temecula....hope they like them...quite the challenge...Tim took the burlap canvas and cover them with some of his 12x12 papers, distressing the edges...sort of hard to see in the photo....the "Letters" one has two windows cut into it - one on the upper left and one on the lower right...
