Summer Card Camp 2 Day 1



Hi all! It's been a while since I've posted any cards and how my card making is going but I am participating in an online card class, Summer Card Camp 2, for the next THREE weeks and will be posting some of my card making and what I'm learning.  I won't be posting much next week as I will be camping and won't have any Internet connectivity for my computer but will post this week and the third week of class.  Anyway, here is what I created today after learning on day 1:






Day 1 introduced a color scheme to use and three different sketches.  I created three cards (two of which are the same) using two of the sketch options.  The first card I used vellum and embossed it to create the background. I tried the Rock and Roll inking technique with the card on the bottom with the orange flowers (not the way it was shown in class) and I really like it. I attempted to do the half and half inking Rock and Roll technique first and it did not come out very pretty.  So I tried the technique the way I saw it on You Tube here.

(Stamps, inks, and materials I used were from Simon Says Stamp, Papertrey Ink, and Paper Smooches.)

  1. Love both of your cards, but most especially the one with the polka dots. Would have never thought to use them in that way. Thanks for sharing.
