Backgrounds class at Bonnidée

I am doing this Backgrounds class at Bonnidée soon (July 12th and Sat July 21st).  Call the store 514-694-1184 if you are interested in joining me....

All the stamps I used are from Magenta and the backgrounds are done with Ranger Alcohol inks and Colorbox pigment inks.

I hope you'll join me if you can - this is a fun technique!

Here are the 3 cards:

Magenta Watercolour Class

The following 3 cards are for a class that I will be doing at Bonnidée at the end of the month.  See Bonnidée's website here for details.

Just before I left for Florida at the beginning of April, I attended a show for Retailers in Boston and I took a class with Nathalie from Magenta.

So I did not create those cards, but was inspired by samples that Nathalie had and cards we made in class.

I will give the details after the class is over.  The cards are all done with Magenta stamps and using water colouring techniques, 2 with Tombo markers and 1 with the new Tim Holtz Distress markers.

The stamp is from Magenta (one of my oldies (a few years old)
It is colored with alcohol markers (Tria and Copics).
The background paper is Basic Grey Two Scoops.
The "Warm Hello" stamps is by Hero Arts.
The beads are from the Dollorama
