MISTI & Altenew Class #2 - Tulip | Aspiring to Creativity

Today we are having our first MISTI or Stamping Platform class combined with introducing, new to Scrapbook Essentials BC, Altenew layered stamps! Also today, I am sharing what we will be doing in our 2nd MISTI & Altenew class for March. I will be visiting my sisters and my daughter in February, so the 2nd class will not be until March.

Here is the layered stamping we will do in class.

MISTI Class & Altenew # 2 - TULIP

WHEN: Tuesday, March 13th. FULL
TIME: 6:00 - 8:00 (8:30)
COST: $40 + GST (Includes Stamp Set)

Another Exciting MISTI & Altenew class; our 2nd one! In this class we will focus not only on layered stamping, but the use of white Gel Pens to add highlights to your stamping. We will also used some old favorite techniques that you may not have used for a while to combine with our stamping platform fun.

Just a note...We may only get our stamping, inking done in class, and not actually get to assembling the cards. Your kits will include all the needed pieces to complete the cards at home if needed. If we do get them done in class, that will be a bonus!

NOTE ON THE INK PADS - Since the focus of the class is how to maximize your MISTI or Stamping Platform tool and introduce you to layered stamping and Altenew stamps, we are not focusing on what ink pads or specific colours to bring to class. As long as your ink pads are water based dye inks, you will be fine. You can even pick different colours from the ones that I used. And, you do not need to have three different colours to use layered stamps. You can use just one colour to get three different tones, or even just two. Your ink pads do not even need to be from the same company. So feel free to choose your colours and ink pads from what you have at home.

I did not use the following stamp pads listed below, however these are the closest in colour to what most of you have (Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads), or just bring whatever colours you want. You do not need to use the same colours for your tulips.

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads
Peeled Paint & Mowed Lawn or Forest Moss, Picked Raspberry & Festive Berries, Broken China, Squeezed Lemon & Mustard Seed or Fossil Amber, Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick & Abandoned Coral, Shaded Lilac & Dusty Concord, and Candied Apple & Fired Brick.You will also require a black ink pad like Memento Black Tuxedo.

PLEASE BRING TO CLASS - MISIT or Stamping Platform with magnets, Glossy Accents, white Gel Pen, 3 x 3 Super Sticky Post-It-Notes (these have adhesive on nearly the entire back of each note), White 3D Foam Tape (or other white foam tape), scissors, mini-mister with water, heat tool, medium sized clear stamping block, stamp cleaner and micro cloth (or well washed new $1 store kitchen dish cloth), 3/4" circle punch, a ruler, non-stick craft mat, and the ink pads and colours of your choice.
