Silly Saturday ~ Workshop Fun

I had a workshop today and wanted to share what we did.  Since we are right around the corner from Halloween, we HAD to do something that was related.  We each did a pumpkin with our own name.  This is my pumpkin.  We discussed the fact that something like this could be used as a place setting for other holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve.

Stamps:  Fall Whimsy (retired), All-Year Cheer III (retired),  Spooky Skyline Jumbo Stampin' Around (retired)

Card Stock:  Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Naturals Ivory

Accessories:  Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Pumpkin Pie 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Tag Corner Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Crop-A-Dile, Jumbo Stampin' Around Handle 

 
You can't do a workshop without doing a card! So here is the card that we did.  I CASEd this from one of my UDI Divas (see Sunday Stamper Skills Showcase tomorrow).

Stamp Set:  Dreams du Jour

Card Stock:  Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Bella Rose Designer Series Paper

Toys and More ~ Aqua Painter

Do you like the watercolor technique or look?  If so, let me tell you about the Aqua Painter.  The Aqua Painter is the tool that you need to use to achieve that wonderful watercolor project.

   

Item:  Aqua Painter   

Item Number:  103954

Cost:  $16.95

Features & Benefits      

• The Aqua Painter comes in a set of 2. (12 mm brush and 15 mm brush)
• Each painter holds 8 cc of liquid. 
• It is portable and easy to use, and is just as easy to clean.
• The Aqua Painter can be used with several Stampin' Up! products: Watercolor Pencils, Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Classic Stampin' Pads, and even Stampin' Ink Refills.
• Use for controlled water coloring.

Tips

• Water or water-soluble liquids may be used.
• DO NOT use liquid acrylics or shellac-based inks.     
• Empty the barrel and wipe moisture from the brush tip before storing.
• With just a few stokes on scrap paper or paper towel, (which I think is one of it's great features) it is now clean and ready to be used with another color.   

How to Use

• To use the painter, carefully squeeze the barrel of the painter, but be cautious not to squeeze too hard, as the liquid may come out too fast.
