Im really sorry I haven't been able to post details of the Northern England workshops before today but we wanted to give those who attended and booked earlier in the year chance to confirm their bookings. Thats does so now I can share the details. Please see the poster below for details there are 2 days one standard workshop and one Techniques day.
Back to today and I thought I would share a few of the different techniques I showed on the Hochanda show over the next couple of days.
This first card is made by using the square media plate. I stared by adding dawn and ultramarine izink ink over the media plate ( I have had a lot of questions about what inks I use I use Dye based inks which are fast trying and intense in colour I have found that Distress Ink works but gives a different level of paternation and is a lot softer) I then added the argyle mask over the top and ran a brayer over the top. I then added a little night ink to the brayer and ran this over to add a different colour to the plate. I then stamped this onto the card using the press to impress stamp press. Next I used the solid leaf stamp and the night izink ink pad and stamped over the media plate. I stamped this then added black versafine all around the edge of the media plate and again stamped the image.
Finally I stamped the black tree over the top ( again using the stamp press) and cut this out matting it onto a pice of blue card. For the body of the card I used a piece of card I had cleaned my brayer on for the misty background and added the pieces, with matts, to a white card blank.
Here are the details of the northern workshops!
Enjoy...
Morning John, lovely sample today, I remember seeing you do this on Hochanda, it looks so easy. I know that everyone has been so busy trying to get all your orders out from them, I am waiting too, but they will arrive, everyone is eager to use the products.
ReplyDeleteYes only 2 more sleeps, getting so excited as it is so near now. I hope you realise how much we are ALL looking forward to it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi John.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Good morning John,
ReplyDeleteAnother great example, love the effect on the piece.
I had a play with my goodies, it was fun but I still have a lot to learn.
What a wonderful place to have your November Workshops, I just LOVE that area of Yorkshire.
Hazel and I will have a good chat about it later to make a decision.
Have a wonderful day

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card, John. I have missed papercrafting this week but did make three cards last night which were a special order from a lady on the lace course. I have had an excellent sales week so have made quite a bit of money for my charity.

Hi John this is a stunning card I love it. Your stamps are amazing and proving to be very popular. Your workshops are going be in great demand. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi John, What a really interesting technique. It really looks as though the bit you have done on the media plate has been run through an embossing folder as it is so 3D looking. Great. Can't wait until the media plates are back in stock.
