Where Does The Time Go????

Sorry for the absence, but I have been getting ready for several classes that I am teaching and preparing for everything next month.  I have 1 class down and 4 to go yet this month.
Today I want to share a card that I made using a tag that I'm using for one of my classes.
This month in my Copic Class I will be teaching techniques with colored papers.  We will focus  mostly on krafts and neutral colors, but I may throw a little something, something into the mix.






The paper I used for the tag is Neena Desert Storm and the embossing powder I used is "Wow" Gold Pearl.  I love this Poppy stamp from Hero Arts, as its a fabulous staple in my collection.
If you've never colored on a kraft paper you should give it a try.  You can achieve some unique and beautiful colored images.  A note though, you will need to use darker more saturated colors to get the proper effect.

Thanks for stopping by today.


Blessings, Nancy

Copic Exploration

The past couple of weeks I've been on a journey of trying new techniques, papers and most of all COLORS.

I have gradually added more depth of color along with shadows on my images.  I also have been working with a few different papers.  Wanting to see if by some chance I could like Neenah paper, well that's a negative.  Working with Copic Xpress It paper for all the years I've been coloring, I just can't get the feel of Neenah.  (sorry Neenah fans)

Well today's card was just for fun and testing colors and paper.  I think my grandson will like it no matter what.

I don't get the blend of color with this paper that I usually can achieve, so it's back to Copic Xpress It for me.  

Thanks for stopping by today.

Acetate Card Class

I wanted to do a quick post to show all my followers here in Iowa this fun card class I'm teaching at Scrapmania.  These cards all have acetate panels of some kind on the front of the card and are so easy to put together.  You will be using a great summer time paper pack and will get to take the remaining paper home.  Yeepee!!!!  (there's so much left to take home)


I will be teaching the class two times June 15th.  We have a 2-4pm class and a 6-8pm class
I understand the class space is filling up fast, so call today and reserve your spot.
