OCC Rainbow Maker Day 2

I made a rainbow plaid background using border stamps from Paper Smooches and Alley Way and Simon Says Stamp inks.  Simon Says Stamp "You" die and stamp set for the sentiment.  The borders didn't go all the way across the background, so I cut a heart from Lawn Fawns Stitched Hearts.

OCC Rainbow Maker Day 1

I followed Kristina's "Edge Blending with a stencil" tutorial to create my card.  I used Bristol cardstock, Clarity Stencil Brushes, a Hero Arts stencil (cannot remember the name), and created the rainbow using Distress Ink in Candied Apple, Mustard Seed, Blueprint Sketch, and Wilted Violet.  I cut the vellum accent from a Simon Says Stamp die and the Hello sentiment was die cut from a My Favorite Things die.  Wink of Stella over the "hello" to add some sparkle.

For the last day of class I followed Jennifer's idea and dry embossed on some Hero Arts Acetate cards I had stashed away.  I die cut some banners and "happy" sentiment and created another Mother's Day card.

OCC Clear & Sheer Day 2

For Day 2, I chose to make some Mother's Day cards and use the tip of breaking up a busy patterned paper with vellum panel.  

I colored the Bears and Elephants with Spectrum Noir, heat embossed the sentiments with Ranger Copper Super Fine Detail powder.  I had  some cork Heart embellishments that I colored with a red marker and glued with Multi Medium Matte.  I adhered the Bear/Elephant with tape runner and on the back of the vellum adhered with tape runner where the animal was.  I also used some Multi Medium Matte under the hearts for an additional point of attachment.  

Paper: Authentique Nestled 6X6, Paper Trey Ink Kraft cardstock
