Back of Christmas Shadow Box

KaiserCraft has come out with a beautiful Christmas line which is both elegant and vintage. Using one 6 ½ x 6 ½” paper pad Ann has created two projects, this Shadow Box and a Wooden Crate Class (posted earlier).

The Shadow Box is detailed with many of Tim Holtz’s Christmas elements: tiny bells, word band, foundation feet, mini pine cones & white pine trees. There are a dozen of Glenda’s chipboard pieces embellished with embossing enamels & of course KaiserCraft’s Christmas Edition Collection paper. The finishing touch that makes it all glow is a string of tiny LED lights with timer that beautifully illuminate the winter scene inside the box.

Please bring to class: paper trimmer, scissors, exacto knife, tweezers, ½” corner rounder, fine sandpaper, steel wool, white gesso, heat mat, baby wipes, heat gun and glue gun. Score tape in various sizes, Mod Podge or mat medium, white glue of your choice, Versa Mark or any other embossing medium you have. Distress ink walnut stain or frayed burlap, black archival ink, Oxide inks in antique linen, pealed paint, walnut stain and faded jeans.

Art Journal Class with Dooreen Rousseau

 
Thursday, November 02nd

6:30 – 9:30 pm

Cost - $27

In this journal page you’ll explore a layered spray technique. Adding additional layers of stenciling and doodling will bring out the hidden layers. It’s unique and every page is an original! If pink and yellow are not your colors, try it with blues and greens, greens and yellow, or blues and purples. Stick with colors next to each other on the color wheel. I used a lotus bloom stencil, that would afford me room to doodle on later. See if you have something similar. I encourage you to gather your favorite supplies and see how you can incorporate them into the project. An open design that can be doodled on would be nice. I also used a ‘blotchy’ stencil, something with random definition that can be doodled. Make this page your own!

Please bring with you some basic supplies – you will use them all! Apron, non-stick mat, art journal of your choice, heat gun, paper towels, wet wipes, white paint marker or white gel pen, black paint pen or permanent marker, brushes and water basin, gesso, molding paste, stencils (open design and ‘blotchy’ design or other texture stencil), sprays in 2 or 3 colors (eg. Dylusions in yellow, pink and fuchsia).
