A wonderful time was had by all as we met in Nashville, IN for a craft retreat hosted by Brenda of Inksprired to stamp and her Sister in law, Sharon. These ladies worked so hard preparing meals, planning a fun filled week of crafting and making us feel right at home.
Colleen, Darnell and Brenda shared new techniques with us and Kara gave us one on one help with Copic coloring. Crafting friends are truly the best.
I was finally able to get into my craft room and finish up some cards that we started at the retreat.
The first two were cards that Darnell helped us with using Ziggies,
The third is an Altenew stamp set that Darnell was giving away and I was the lucky one to get it.
And the third was a technique that Colleen showed us by scribbling with Copics and then adding some Nuvo glitter (stuff) to it for a beautiful sparkly card. Not sure what the full name of the glitter is called.
And the forth was help from Kara on my Copic coloring. Plus a piece of background of Color Bursts on Yuppo paper that Darnell showed us.
These items are still ones I need to make something from. The two outside ones were techniques that Brenda showed us and I'm sorry I don't remember the names of these either. Faux metallic is about the best I can do.
The one in the middle and the butterflies were techniques that Darnell showed us.
Color bursts on Yuppo paper and die cutting on a napkin and then dropping on watercolors.
We had so much fun and so enjoyed making memories with new and old friend.
Thanks for stopping by.
