Crafty Crease #23: Tag ideas 2


This was my second class at SENZ and probably my favorite.  Wendy is well known and a great tutor. She has her own section on the Scottie Craft website called "Wendy's World".

Not only was she vivacious and fun but well organized.  There is a lot of preparation work that goes into classes like these and it makes all the difference to how smoothly the class runs.  Some people did find the fast action pace we worked at a bit challenging, but it was definitely up my alley.  Six tags, all different techniques, in 2 hours - totally amazing!!

I learned a lot of new techniques and got to use a variety of tools / accessories that I hadn't used before. Some ideas appealed more to me than others and I have a few new ideas, as well as a few more supplies, to help me hone those skills better.

Below you will find a photo of each tag, and the technique used to create them:

Crafty Crease #22: SENZ class: Altered Canvas



Two of my three classes that I took at SENZ were run by Scotties Crafts.  This class was an altered canvas utilizing Tim Holtz products.  My favorite part was learning to make my own coloured tie dye ribbon just using the Distress Stains.  Such a simple idea but with great results!



The canvas came from the $2 shop and Sue, our tutor, had her lovely husband spend hours cutting up the chicken wire mesh for us all in advance.  Sue has her own blog, so take a look when you get time or need inspiration.


Sue sent us the instructions which you will find here:
