Canal Class Card March 12, 2015

So sorry it took me so long to post this card.  I am trying to catch up on housework, yard work, laundry and grocery shopping.  I am so glad to be back to card making!  This card is made with Celebrate Today stamp set and Irresistibly Yours DSP.  I sponged it with Soft Sky ink using a scallop circle to make a cloud pattern.  The cardstock colors are Real Red and Island Indigo.  My stampers were happy to make a masculine card.

Nancy's Cards fromCanal Street Class February 26, 2015

These are Nancy's 2 cards above.  She showed the class how easy it was to burnish in the desired color on the Irresistibly Yours specialty paper available for free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.  Rubbing hard on the embossed area with a tissue when your done inking really makes it pop by bringing the pattern back to a bright white.  I love how she showed them to do the ombre affect on the top card by starting light and then medium and dark at the top.  The top card is stamped with Painted Petals and the bottom card with Butterfly Basics.
