Class Four

Working with Transparencies:

This fortnight we will be using Hambly transparencies to make a funky layout. We will use a basic grid composition, which mirrors the grid on the transparency. Transparency sheets in teal or black mini grid will be available from me, during class three, over the next week.

Masculine version: this layout uses lots of red and shades of green.


Feminine version: this layout uses a combination of teal, pink and orange.



Sorry about the poor photos of these layouts, but my camera really struggled with photographing a see-thru layout! (the joys of a happy snapper!)

Supplies needed:
Three photos that can be cut down to 3" square
A combination of cardstock and patterned paper to make six 2" squares (it is ideal to use up some scraps). For the masculine layout, I used two different coloured pieces of cardstock and one neutral patterned paper. For the feminine layout, I used three different patterned papers that all had shades of pink and orange in them.
Buttons.
Pearls or gems.
Tiny flowers.
Chipboard/felt/foam stars/hearts/circles/flowers as a larger accent (about 5 of varying sizes, or components to cut it out on my cuttlebug eg foam, felt, etc).
One pre-made tab or paper/cardstock to make a tab.
One circular accent slightly smaller than 2" or an alternative for a small title or feature (I used a pre-made circle for the masculine layout and a simple flower on a chipboard circle, that I added a pearl and some rubons to, for the feminine layout).
Arrows/flowers if desired as added embelishments.
Cotton bud (only one).
Edge distresser if you have one.
Stampin' Up mat pack if you have one.

Techniques Used:
This class will build on techniques already learned, such as sanding, edge distressing, inking and paper piercing.

If you have any questions or are slightly confused, please feel free to ring me and I will try to help!

Hope to see you there.
