Card Class Project 3

Ida decided to give us a little experience with the aqua painter and watercolor pencils. She did tell us that we could buy white Georgia Pacific 110 lb. weight card stock for our watercolor. She mentioned that one as we can all go to Wal Mart easily.

Recipe:

• SU stamp from 'For Father' (Occasions Catalog available March 1)
• SU background stamp Weathered
• SU Earth Elements card stock: Summer Sun and Chocolate Chip
• Watercolor pencils (Yes, she used SU.)
• Aqua painter
• Little teeny brads.
• SU ticket punch

We got to practice using the BIG background stamp again. Practice makes perfect. Ida also showed us her high tech toy for punching holes for the brads. Why didn't I take a picture of this advanced technology? I can only say that I was lost in trying to make the cards. So.... this high tech punching toy was a nice thick rubber mouse pad and a punch pin (the bulletin board holding kind)

We had a good time with these cards. I know I have to practice as can't say I've mastered techniques yet, but it was a first try. I'm sure Ida will have more practice for me in the future. Of course, I MUST order some background stamps now. Ida has a way of making me want the things I use. Sneaky little Crafting Ida.
