I am deep in preps for CHA today. Finishing up the samples of one of my new Sizzix PRO boxes that will be released at the show. Karen Burniston and I are teaching a workshop called Sizzix Super Duet Scoreboard & Pop-ups (sold out though- sorry) which is going to be lots of fun. We have come up with an amazing project because Karen is a genius and has all kinds of coolness popping out of this box. You can stop by the Sizzix booth to see a sample.
I am excited to be using Creative Imaginations Luminarte paint in our project as well as some fun papers by Cosmo Cricket. This is a shimmery rich paint that you can mix to match papers, fabrics, whatever you want. The paper collection we are using for the class is called “Odds ‘n Ends” and I LOVE the colors and designs. But there was no exactly matching shade of Luminarte so I used some of their fun new products- brushes, pipettes and salsa jars- and mixed myself up a batch of paint that is perfect. In the class, students will be encouraged to experiment with this also. I feel like a mad scientist in my lab- drop of this, a drop of that, eye of newt, diet Coke…ah, success- love it!
Here’s a look at the mixing and matching…
Try it… you’ll like it! You might want to wear gloves unless you want pretty aqua hands 🙂
Oooh! I love your mad scientist leanings! I expect you to wear a lab coat and stand your hair up for class. Ha! Can hardly wait to see the finished design!
