The cards were loved and were so much fun to make. 

If you wish you could join us, but life is too busy; these cards are available as a Kit and I would love to share them with you.  Just contact me, I will get them ready for you.

Card #1 - With Deepest Sympathy

June Technique Class - String Art Pull Technique

The technique for June was so much fun!!  One of those techniques that you do not know what kind of results you will have until the very end!  It goes by many different names and there are different ways to achieve the look, but in the end you end up with a beautiful abstract background.

Taking reinkers, place approximately 6 drops in a shallow cup, add 2 drops of water. I used my Aqua Painter and it worked the best for me.  Mix the ink into the water and then add a piece of twine, I used Stampin' Up! Cotton Twine, approximately 14 inches. Once the ink is mixed into the water, I saturated the twine with ink, leaving only about 3 inches that does not have ink on it. you will use this 3 inches to pull the twine.  Place the twine on a piece of Whisper White cardstock, place White cardstock inside a phone book, place a piece of scratch paper on top of White cardstock and then close phone book. Place one hand on top of phone book, keeping even pressure on phone book, with the other hand pull the twine out of the phone book. I have to caution you though, the first time that you pull the twine out, you will not want to keep that piece of White cardstock as the twine is very saturated the first time through. Take a second piece of Whisper White cardstock and do the above again, this time through will be perfect!

Every card will be different, it reminds me of a Calla Lilly.
