I'm in the CLASSroom!

Well, you’ve waited an extra day for my announcement… so here it is! I am SUPER thrilled to be a guest designer over on Ellen Hutson’s fabulous blog, the CLASSroom! I have been a huge fan of the CLASSroom for quite some time and can’t believe that lil’ ol’ me actually has a tutorial over there. I am truly honored and grateful for the opportunity. So with that being said, be sure to pop over HERE to see exactly how these two cards were created using products from the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft line and Hero Arts stamps. And not only is Ellen Hutson sweet as can be, she is also very generous. She’s given me this Faber-Castell Mixed Media Starter Kit to giveaway here on my blog.
Leave a comment on this post by midnight, March 17th for a chance to win the entire kit! Ellen Hutson will then select the winner using a random number selector and post the winner both here and in the CLASSroom.
Oh, and be sure to stop by tomorrow for our next day of inspiration with Joy! HUGS!

I can not wait to get my hands on the gelatos and markers. Love the effect on the wildflower card. YUMMY!

Bonnie said...

Really like the tutorial in the CLASSroom. Great fun. Does it ever turn out the same way twice? Hope not!!!

Fyrefly Hollow said...

Fabulous cards!!!

Helen Nelson said...

Congratulations on the excellent job you did both on your tutorial and the result on your cards. I've seen the technique of coloring directly on the stamp some years ago, but I didn't know what products to use. I guess I could have asked at the scrapbook store, but now I don't have to ask! :-)

Tinkerbeth said...

What a wonderful giveaway!! I can't wait to try your techniques! I have a couple of the Stamper's Big Brushes, and I am wondering if you have any advice for cleaning the india ink off of your stamps. It seems to work best if you do it right away. Is it best to try a water based, or a solvent based cleaner?

Karen said...

I'm always inspired by you. Thanks for a chance to win some goodies to play with.

Mary Sara P. said...

Just love the cards and new techniques. Have wanted to try these out, but wasn't sure how to start. Thanks for a chance at the fun giveaway.
