SENZ - Creative Craft Expo 2022 Day 2

Hi there.. Today was day 2 of SENZ - and after taking a class yesterday... I decided to do another one today - luckily there were still places available for Chick's Interactive Underseas class.  And I found that I could get a concession entry as a Pensioner! Saved me $3 on the entry.   So after doing the grocery shopping off I headed to the fair again.    More shopping as I needed to buy the Distress Oxide colours I needed for the class.. plus I did a little make'n'take - which used Nuvo Glimmer paste - which just jumped into my shopping bag!  

The class was really cool - even if I made a few mistakes... we did three interactive cards 

First up - A shaker card 

We did the ink blending first and then die cut out the centre.... so mistake one was that I did my die cutting with the darker portion at the top... it should have been at the bottom... so had to put all my bits and pieces on the other side to everyone else!  The dies are from Memory Box.  The little fish on top and three layers - two white and one in holographic card.  

Second technique - Hidden sentiment.

Again, when I added my little fishes, I put the darker portion to the top instead of the bottom.   As you can see, there is a little pull tab to the side that shows the hidden sentiment. 

And the third technique - is a wobble card. 

On this one, the jellyfish moves from side to side - done with a little die cut circle with a little disc that allows the jellyfish to move around.  Once I was home I added the clear gems to this one and some clear Nuvo drops to the other two.  

Such a fun class and I had a ball.  

SENZ - Creative Craft Expo 2022

 Hi there.  I spent a great day with my friend Suna at SENZ - Creative Craft Expo held in Auckland - it's running over three days.... I always take the Friday off and go with Suna.  This year, we decided to take a class - Watercolouring with Nuvo Shimmer powders.   We were  able to get three cards made.

Here is a couple of pics of me and Suna.

Suna and I 

and here are the three cards we did....

Three different ways to use the Shimmer powders... precision watercolouring, watercolour wash and messy watercolouring.  We also painted our chipboard letters.   The last card is a vellum base with the watercolour panel at the bottom of the card.  And here is my haul

One set of Altenew stamps, stencils and dies, the Altenew Craft Your Life - Silk Art kit, chipboard elements, dies, stamps, stencils, shimmer powders, oxide inks... 

And I've booked another class for tomorrow.  Another one with Chick! Interactive Under the Sea.  Can't wait.   

I was home by just after three... so decided to use the little chipboard butterfly I did in a Make'n'Take and make a card with it... and used the left over part of the messy watercolour panel from today's class... I'll share later in the weekend.  

It's been a GOOD DAY!
