Then it was on to the Hero Arts class - the bottom right one is acetate. (Incidently Shari was doing a M&T later and she showed us a couple of techniques with Distress Inks - the first she coloured the cardstock with Broken China and then stamped a fairly solid image over in Scattered Straw (light on dark) and the second she covered with Vintage Photo and then stamped with water - it made a lighter image when it had dried)
Steampunk Heart with Christie - this is using Sculpey Clay
Technique Tuesday got fruity with their cards
Steampunk Album with the talented Candee Rosenburg - mine is not completed yet so here is the front view (small front page and the second one behind) as done by Candee.
This is my Album from Clearsnaps - it is basically a clear page followed by a solid one - one large project which I did manage to complete in class (although it was a "phew" moment at the end)
Some Make & Takes (the pink book was using the Smooch paints - you take a container of water large enough to hold your cardstock, just touch the water with the loaded brush of a few colours of Smooch so it forms circles on th water, then you swirl your brush through on the last one. Next you drop your cardstock on top of the water and lift up. It gives you a lovely marbled effect.)
The book below opens and contains a pocket plus a notepad and the other is a necklace made with a felt shape which has rhinestones and a rosette on - looks much better when you wear it. Can't remember the name of the company but they do kits or you can buy the completed article. They had a fabulous one made from a zip but I must not have taken a picture.
The butterfly and the flower below were by Spellbinders using the Grand Calibur, Kim had made four of the flowers and put them together to make a big ball.
The green rosette is a good idea which you could do using the Paper Rosette die from Tim Holtz.
I've included a button from Craftwork Cards because when I went down to see them in the New Exhibitors Hall Sue was telling me that Julie had been interviewed live on CHA tv. Well done Craftwork Cards (and Julie)
And finally my necklace from Advantus (there are more but it would take far too long to show them all)
Hope you have enjoyed this trip around CHA over the past few days - now to get on with prep for Mary's workshop on the 13th
