Go Large

Using oversized embelishments can be a bit of an art - the sublime or the rediculous!

In this class we will use either hand cut or premade over-sized brackets to frame a cluster (collage style) of photo and embelishments.

We will also make a card using the same "pattern" or sketch if we have time!


Supplies needed:
One photo 3"x2" (landscape) that can be trimmed down to fit your cluster.
Two pieces of neutral cardstock (one for the layout and one for the card).
One small piece of corrugated cardstock or patterned paper (about 4" high and 2 or so wide)
One piece of felt to make brackets OR premade large brackets OR cardstock or patterned paper to cut some on the Cricut.
One die cut tag or patterned paper to make one.
One piece of wide ribbon (I used crushed velvet).
One piece of wide lace OR fabric OR felt.
Embroidery thread and needle OR gel pen for stitching (gel pen can not be used to fake stitch on felt).
Small rubon words for a title and for an accent on the photo.
Rubon flower accent OR flower and stem OR stars/masculine flowers and stem for a flower accent.
Rubon accent (I used a bird) or stamp to sit on top of the tag.
2 large brads or fancy snaps.
One small shape cut from patterned paper (I used a "fruit and veg" paper and cut out an apple as an accent).
Gel pens for journaling and journaling lines.
Hole piercer.
Mat pack.
Ink to ink the edges of your page and card.
Xyron "little x" sticker making machine if you have one.
Sandpaper.

Bring an assortment of similar little tid-bits to make your card. You will only need a very small amount because a card is only a small "canvas".
