Stampendous Floral Classes and more!

I am in LOVE with some of the floral stamps by Stampendous!  Just check these out.  I hope you can join me in one of my Southern California classes in Feb & March. 
This first one is my favorite, it's a tri-fold card. Colored with Copics R89, R85, R83, and R81.  Only one color family! I also give several other color combinations in both Copic & Spectrum Noir.


The Second one is just as fun.  We will practice coloring the glass jar and spring flowers.  I am really into that fun shaped greeting.

And then a Purple Petunia - we will practice getting that highlight right on the ridge of the flower petal, finishing off the whole card using your Copic or Spectrum Noir pens in an Air brush!  How fun is that!

Supplies and marker colors are posted in each store for both brands!

ONLINE class now open for registration - Building Dimension

Wow... Time has flown. My first formal on line class will begin on Feb 5th.  Both Copic & Spectrum Noir welcome with color suggestions for both. (other brands also welcome).

In this class, I will teach you how to build layers, dimension and life to your images.  All images are provided in this first class.  I have 1 hour of video tutorials, several written tutorials, practice sheets, color suggestions and even a review of basic coloring & correcting techniques.

Each week for three weeks, we will work on a different types of images to build a variety of skills.  Participants will have the opportunity to post their work in a private forum for comments and suggestions from me.  This is perfect for those of you who live too far to take a live class and/or prefer to take the class in the comfort of your own home at any time you wish.
