Sharlene A: January 25, In Person, Elegant Grunge

Create abstract backgrounds with watercolor, water-based dye ink reinkers (e.g. Distress Inks/Catherine Pooler) using a variety of mixed media techniques and 3D embossing folders.  Once you have inked, embossed, coloured and splattered your way to a gorgeous background you can complete your card with sentiments from the Spellbinder Woodland Sentiment Die Set (provided for use) or bring sentiments from your stash.  You are also encouraged to bring your own 3D embossing folder and reinkers if you would like to personalize the look of the card.
