Before we begin the embellishing portion of the class let’s get a little inky with it.

• First, swatching. An informative way to engage with possible ink colors and matching hues.

Lay Mixed Media paper on surface. 

Punch a large circle out of cardstock.

Use circle as a template for swatching inks.

Ink blend colors on Mixed Media paper to use as a guide.

• Second. Inking and cutting leaves to add to the ephemera layering pieces.

Ink background paper for a base.

Place background in stamp platform

Ink stamps and stamp background until desired coloration

Fussy cut leaves. Set aside.

>Pocketing the Pieces

1. Layer cut away cards and ephemera + inked leaf and tuck into a pocket.

2. Layer solid, pattern, frame, ticket, leaves, and additional ephemera to craft a collage frame.

3. Cut away a tag from the pattern paper. Gather ephemera, word sentiments, leaf cuts or die cuts and staple together to create a clustering that still allows the card to tuck in that we will call a tag cluster.
