Exciting News!

Enjoy

Hello Friends, How are you today? Have you heard the exciting news yet???
Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner have teamed up to bring you a 4-week workshop loaded with fresh color combos, cutting edge techniques, and versatile sketches that will leave you feeling inspired to create! Summer Card Camp is your all-access pass to 48 new card ideas, daily PDFs, twice weekly videos, guest designers (including me!), huge prizes and access to a private blog where you can share your own creations. For more information and to register, click here.

PLUS…. I am giving away THREE spots in the class!!! Yes, that means there will be THREE WINNERS. Just leave a comment  PLEASE NOTE “If you are picked as a winner and have already signed up, you will be given a refund.”

I would like to leave you with a card that has nothing to do with the Summer Card Camp. I am so incredibly excited to be a guest designer and I hope that you will be able to join me in this journey. Thanks for your visit today! Hugs, Kathy

If you are curious about the center of the flower you can see in this older post what I mixed & used.
I just finished my first Copic certification TODAY so I look forward to sharing more tips with you! I colored this flower a month ago but, it illustrates the feathering technique we used today. However, I choose not to blend the colors for more of an artistic look on the petals.
Enjoy
