Stamping Details Class for March 2012

Another class for Stamping Details....this is Adirondack Alcohol Inks on Canvas...a great new coloring technique that I discovered when playing around with AAI...this is 4" x 4"...it is an original drawing of mine but this technique can be used on almost anything you want to color including the new Tim Holtz Market Butterfly Bag...I did a 5 x 5 canvas like this for the Savannah Diabetes Assoc. auction a few years ago....


I am doing two add'l classes on Sunday the 4th...the Tim Holtz G-45 Necklace and an 8 page Altered Journal Project....
