CHA Day #1 - Elizabeth Craft Designs

Today was day #1 of the official show. We're starting with Elizabeth Craft Designs - I knew Els (the owner) would have some new tricks up her sleeve - she always does. First we have a picture of Els, demoing and making samples for the attendees.


She started doing a "patchwork" effect with pieces of her "shimmer sheets" that had been embossed with dry embossing folders and then sanded and sometimes colored with Stazon inks. She uses her line stickers to cover the overlap of the pieces. The first picture here is a card where she did the patchwork as a background, then added a glitter piece - colored with Copic markers. VERY stunning...


Then she used the same technique to cover the top of a small, spiral bound journal. This was a wonderful idea and looked stunning in person.



We'll have the new shimmer sheets coming in soon and will be showcasing this technique in future classes.
Thanks for checking in...
