More Vintage Magic

Here is another card showcased at our Technique Tuesday Black Magic class ... loving the Tempting Turquoise against the black as well and the pinking hearts border is just so delicate - perfect with a floral card and of course some pretty gold glitter added as the floral middles just adds the extra bit of bling!

This is a perfect card to share today as we got hit with another snow storm in the night and the signs of spring from yesterday are now once again buried under the fluffy white stuff ... so we can admire the spring cards and long for seeing them in real life!

Vintage Black Magic

This is one of the cards we made at our Technique Tuesday exploring the Black Magic!

This card features the Vintage Vogue stamp set stamped on Basic Black with Whisper White and than coloured with the Stampin' Up Watercolor Pencils and embellished with white gel pen, a gold glitter brad and half back pearls!

I just love this technique!

March Technique Tuesday

This month we practiced a little bit of BLACK MAGIC at our technique class - and boy was it alot of fun!

I just love the way the images POP from the paper ... each month participants of the tehcnique class get to make a 6x6 instruction sample for future inspiration with the technique as well as two different cards showcasing the technique ... this is the sample of the instruction sheets!

Here is an up close shot of a few of the Black Magic tricks and twists we explored ... from highlighting the coloured image with a white gel pen to using the versamark pen for coloring and embossing a couple key areas to help them pop and finally adding some glittery bling to small sections of the image!

If you are interested in coming out to a Technique Tuesday class please drop me a line or give me a call we would love to have more company around the stampin' table ... we are always a source of laughter and great conversation between stampin' !

Black Magic ... under my spell

This technique is totally cool ... called Black Magic with a twist and is a combination of using white ink on a dark background and than colouring with Stampin Up Water colour pencils and a white gel pen for that extra magic pop factor!

The first card features the Watercolour Trio stamp set in the 2010 Summer mini catalog, the Top Note Bigz die and the scallop trim punch ... awesome combination inspired by Liz Goldhawk my up line mentor!

This section card is from the new catalog called Just Believe and is a cute little set!
