I've been taking the
Craftsy class by Catherine Pooler - Wild Cards - 21 Techniques. It's been lots of fun with tons of neat techniques and ideas. Here are two cards I made with techniques that Catherine shared...
First up was a technique using the back of a sentiment stamp to colour block.
I used the back of the Kaisercraft stamp and a rainbow of Memento inks to make the base. Stamped in sentiment and added some punched stars and sequins.
My second card used a Double stenciling technique.
My first stencil was a MFT Houndstooth inked up with Tea Dye ink. I only sponged a little bit of the stencil. Over top of this I sponged some Weathered Wood ink and a Hero Arts stencil (Leaf and Flourish) The sentiment is from Winnie & Walter. I had to channel my inner Catherine as I got a smudge on it. So out came the Sequin stamp set from Winnie & Walter and I stamped some black sequins and stars.
I've done one more card inspired by the class - but you'll have to wait a week or so to see when I post of A2Z Scrapbooking on the 6th August!
If you haven't joined Catherine's Craftsy class I can highly recommend it! You can get it

terrific card Dawn - especially like the double stenciling - sequins are a great rescue every time - i took the class - subscribed to it while i was at the lake and was having withdrawal pains after a week of no card making - of course sitting by a beautiful lake with a lovely breeze and reading was pretty wonderful too:-)
Looks like a fun class, Dawn! I love the idea of using the back of a clear stamp!
