Technique Class--Faux Suede

I am teaching a technique class. One of the techniques  that I taught was faux suede. I like the looks of this technique and it's so easy! For this class, we are making a card and a technique card. The technique cards have the step by step written directions as well as a sample on them then we are putting the technique cards onto a ring so that they will make their own book of techniques! Want to join in the fun? We are meeting on the second Thursday of the month to create!

One layer cards

This past summer we went on a GREAT vacation to South Dakota. We rented a cabin for the 6 of us (my hubby and our 4 daughters and me) out in the middle of no where. There wasn't any cell reception or internet acess. We didn't have a stove, only a gas grill. No tv or radio! It was one of the best vacations that we have ever taken! We did hiking in the hills, bike riding, game playing and of course some stamping! My youngest daughter, Belle just LOVES the stamp set Make a Monster. I purchased this in the clear mount and she can get the eyes right where they are suppose to be. She helped me pick these colors (not that we had much choice as I only brought a few colors with us.) and which monsters to stamp. Then we stacked them!

Here's one set.

Stamps: Make a Monster, Silhouette Sentiments

Cardstock: Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait, Melon Mambo

Accessories: Pear Pizzazz ribbon, aquapainter

These were stamped in black and it seemed too bold so we tried again. She picked different monsters then too! I used the tuft of hair for grass! Thought this was a cool idea but I'm sure I saw it somewhere. I don't usually come up with things like that on my own!

I have really been enjoying making one layer cards. They aren't as easy as you would think they would be! I think this style is one of my favorites to create. I've made this in the past with snowflakes and a Christmas greeting. This card was a make n take at my workshops in August. I was trying to showcase the new In Colors. Although, I did forget to stamp Blushing Bride on this one! Oh well, you get the idea!
