Copic Card Workshop - This Thursday!

How did everyone enjoy the first long weekend of the summer?  Wasn't the weather awesome?  The problem is, it always goes by so fast.

We are back at the store and in full swing again.  Our blog was filled with lots and lots of new products last week, so if you haven't had a chance to visit us and check them out, be sure to stop in.  You can also view them (and place orders) through our online store.

This week we are holding another great Copic Card Workshop using some brand new stamps from Stamping Bella!


This workshop is the perfect opportunity to add 3 gorgeous cards to your collection! You will work with these amazing images (stamps are available for sale) and bright colourful papers to tie everything together.

Here are some images of the three cards (some close ups so you can see all the details)......




Each card features a die-cut word tab as the sentiment!




We have also added some stitching (which is optional) for a little extra detail.




This workshop is perfect for the experienced colour artist, or for beginners. Joanne will walk you through the colouring process, step-by-step, and help you to perfect your shading techniques.
