Magic Sponge Creations

 

I took a class this weekend at RubberStamp Fantasy in Marietta, Ga.  It was taught by RoseMary Marino.  We used the magic sponges to create backgrounds.  I don’t remember the name of the sponge but it is similar to ColorBox stylus with the black rubber that you can heat up and then get an impression on the stylus.

Have a Great Monday!

The Colors of Christmas

This was a fun class and I really like the faux stamp because you can do it with all different types of stamps not just Christmas.

Bleach and More..

I took some class at RubberStamp Fanstasy store.
One of the classes was bleaching and the effects.

Here are the two books that I made.
I really like doing the books.
This book was made from scratch and I put it together from scratch.  Pretty good for my first.

Wax On

Here is my last wax card.  I decided I would do it myself.

Painting with Wax

I had a class form my favorite store - Rubberstamp Fantasy. (Not you just love the name).  Sorry I digress I told a class from Rosemary Marino. It was called Painting with Wax and it was so fun.  It is all about textures and how you hold the craft iron.  It does make you think out sides of the box of backgrounds and how yu can use the image.
You take your craft iron and some encoustic wax and create texture backgrounds. The background that we practiced are following (the trick was how you hold the iron).  All the images were using glossy paper.
