Workshop WOW Presentation

I just thought you might like to see the cards I used as part of my demonstration at the Perth Regionals on Saturday.

My presentation was all about Stampin' Spots and I showed some of the fun things you can do with them. I showed how to do the actual technique and then displayed the completed card.

For this design I used Gable Green, Orchid Opulence & Lovely Lilac Stampin' Spots to ink up the Sanded background stamp. I also used Orchid Opulence, Gable Green, Elegant Eggplant & Glorious Green for the two step stampin' flower from Heartfelt Thanks. Best Wishes is from the Sincere Salutations set, inked up with Basic Black stampin' spot. I also dyed the ribbon to match the card as we no longer carry Orchid Opulence 1/4' grosgrain ribbon...... And all only using the Stampin' Spots.... pretty impressive huh!! :)


I made this one as an example of the same technique for the Weathered background. The leaves are from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set.























I demonstrated how to use a selection of Stampin' Spots to create my own custom coloured "Spectrum" ink pad. I pre-stamped and clear embossed the Upsy Daisy design onto Glossy White cardstock, then brayered Mellow Moss, So Saffron & Apricot Appeal over the design. The clear embossed areas resist the ink and leaves the flowers showing white against your coloured background. For this card, I re-inked my Upsy Daisy stamp with More Mustard and Always Artichoke Markers and over stamped the design, slightly off setting it so that it looks like a shadowed effect. Other products used: Mellow Moss, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango cardstock, Haiku Designer Papers, Apricot Appeal 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Scallop Edge punch.

Some of you will have seen this card before - I've used this one as a make & take in my recent workshops. I showed how to use the Stampin' Spots to paint/watercolour with. Basically, you take a palette (I use a piece of laminated paper) and squish the little ink pad onto it which leaves a splotch of ink for you to pick up with your aquapainter - then colour your design as desired. The base card is Kiwi Kiss stamped with Versamark Ink. Accents of Rose Red, Regal Rose and Raspberry Tart Designer Paper.

If you'd like me to demonstrate any of the designs you see here, why not consider hosting a workshop of your own. It's fun, FREE, and easy to do. Just call or email me to make your booking :)
