12 Techniques With Gelatos

Yesterday, I taught a class to a bunch of fabulous ladies in my local area. They wanted to learn more about Faber-Castell Gelatos, so I came up with a sea themed tag with 12 techniques using them. Everyone did awesome, and they made me feel so good. I LOVE my job!

 

 

 

I totally forgot to take pics of the ladies and their projects...sorry. But if you look on my FB Page, Anita Houston's Crafty Place, some of the ladies uploaded their tags!

I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

Flowers In A Vase Monochromatic Tag

Only hours to go, but I got my monochromatic project done for Wendy Vecchi's Make Art Challenge for August...PHEW!!! Sometimes I can thrive under pressure! ;0) If you haven't gotten your project done you still have a few hours to go!

I used lots of oldies but goodies to create flowers in a vase, and I wanted to use some things in a different way.

I used Wendy's Archival Inks and rubbing alcohol for the background on both Manila and Specialty Stamping Paper from Ranger.

I inked the Art Parts and stamped images with Archival Ink as well.

Background stamping with Archival.

More stamping.

And still more stamping, and these I cut out, and foam taped.

I inked some of Tim's Linen Ribbon with Archival and doodled a little on the tag. I also added Glossy Accents to the center parts of the flowers.

 

 

FYI...in the coming week, I'll be bringing you some pictures of my upcoming Autumn and Halloween classes that I will be teaching in the Dallas area. I've been a little behind in posting, but hopefully I'll catch up soon. Again, thanks so very much for all the comments, emails, and messages checking up on the family and me. I treasure all of you!!!
