In this class, we're going to take a sketch (this month from Debbie Gaydos at www.scrappydeb.blogspot.com) and complete a double page layout in class. The first thing we'll do is choose papers that'll compliment your pictures and I'll be there to help you do that. Then we'll talk about the design, how you might want to change it to make it your own and how to simply get that 2-pager done! You're encouraged to bring pictures to help you pick your papers and so that you can go home with something finished. Remember that the sizes in the sketch can be worked with or your pictures can be cropped. Basic supplies for the layout will be included and then you can purchase any extras that night that you might want to add to your layout as well. I'll help with this too!

I will show you how to use that fabulous blender pen. We will make three wonderful and diverse cards at the same time I will be packing your brains with copic information.

Instructor: Tobi Crawford
Class Fee: $15.00 Supply fee: $5.00
Consider this your first introduction to everything Copic. If you find yourself wondering what papers to use, what ink, what end to use? Then this class is the first logical step. This class is even for those who aren't sure about these markers, and maybe just want to try them out! You will use the store's markers to get some hands-on experience. You will colour some stamped images for you to take home and use on cards, but note that you will not be making any cards in this class; this is all about the process! All Supplies Included.

If you've taken Copic I then you are ready for this class, OR if you feel like you have a handle on paper and ink selection, as well as general care for your markers (refilling, nibs etc) then you will feel at home in this class. We will start to "play" a little more in this class by learning some advanced techniques like direct-to-rubber stamping, playing with the blender solution, airbrushing and so on with the store's markers. Like the Level I Workshop, you will not make cards, but will hone your colouring skills with some images to take home and use on cards later! All Supplies Included.
