A Class with Els...

Last night I took a class at AZ Scrapbooking in Green Valley, AZ.  The teacher was Elizabeth of Elizabeth Craft Designs!  Oh My Gosh!  It was SO fun!

First we made 2 cards (I have 1 completed at this time) then a piece of jewelry.  We used all kinds of microfine glitters and Shimmer Sheetz.


The background of this card  is made with an iridescent Shimmer Sheetz that I ran through an embossing folder then sanded.  It's very difficult to photo as it acts almost like a mirror! This particular sheet is called Fire Opal Gemstone.


This cute little pot is a Peel -Off sticker that is stuck to a piece of card stock that has a sticky sheet (Be Creative Tape) adhered then coated with a glitter-like product called Highlight!  Then I colored with Copic markers!  Isn't it just so cool!


And what do you think of this pendant???  Just fabulous! It starts with a piece of black card stock with the Tape adhered to both sides then a piece of Turquoise Gemstone Shimmer Sheetz adhered on both side.  I used a Sizzix-type die (large and black) of different sized squares and rectangles to cut out the shapes. After punching the holes I then used an embossing folder to add the designs.  For added highlights I swiped the design with Staz-On Saddle Brown ink.  Absolutely gorgeous!!  I did purchase some plain red Shimmer Sheetz to play with and when I finish the other card I will be posting it!  If you ever get a chance to take a class from Els I HIGHLY recommend it!

Wow! These are gorgeous, Carol! Hope I get a chance to try some of this - under someone's tutelage, to be sure, but it sure looks like fun!!
