Inking It!

Tuesday 9th June 2009

7.30pm @ Keepsake Krafts


This class will focus on creating a background for your layout using inks and jazzing up transparent alphas and embellishments with a splash of inked colour.

Supplies needed:
** Apron and/or old clothes because inks stain**
One photo 19cm x 14cm (7"x5") portrait orientation.
One piece of coated cardstock, eg gloss cardstock or pearlescent cardstock (Renaye has some put aside if you would like some - colours include mid-blue, dark brown and off white).
Transparent OR shiny alphabet for a title.
Transparent embellishments (small selection).
Two strips of patterned paper.
One boarder strip, eg from Sasafrass Lass papers with the decorative edge, or patterned paper to scallop.
Two "tickets" or patterned paper or embellishment.
One circular embellishment (I used a Heidi Swapp clock face).

One decorative/shaped brad or eyelet (I used a dragonfly).
Gel pen for journaling.
Stapler.
Xyron sticker maker if you have one.
