Retreat

Well, our retreat this weekend was great fun, completely exhausing but great fun.

Unfortunately I can't share anything with you yet as we are repeating it all again next week, but after that weekend I will be able to share some of the artwork with you and the fabulous new JudiKins stamps that we saved to launch at the retreats.

More TV Artwork

This is the JudiKins Weeping Willow with China Girl and Bunny Hug - by Vicky.

For this card I used Japanese background, Weeping Willow, Flirty Girl and Nellie Round die. For her parasol I stamped it on black card and coloured with Pearlescent watercolour paints and stuck with foam pads for dimension.

Vicky reproduced this card in the show. Embossing the tree in black onto black card and then giving the card a wash with the Pearlescent watercolour paints. Big Hug was stamped and coloured on white card and then again on black card and the kimono was cut out and layered on top.

New TV Easel Cards

This is the card that Vicky made on TV using the Nellie Eastern dies. The larger piece was coloured with the inkpad used to stamp the background so that they would co-ordinate. This is Dancing Girl with Japanese Background.

This is Big Hug on the Round Nellie dies, 2 of the same shape have been overlayed.

This is Bunny Hug on the Eastern die with the Japanese background.

All images were coloured with the Niji Pearlescent Watercolour Paints.

New TV Show

These are the 2 cards I made on our new TV show which is on Saturday at 2pm. I cut the aperture with the Nellie Snellen Eastern Die and Flirty girl is attached to a smaller Eastern Die suspended on pink elastic.
The Flower was made from the Nellie punch and emboss sets. The greeting is JudiKins Happy Birthday.

For this card I stamped the Japanese background in Platinum Stazon and the Weeping Willow in Copper Stazon - these new Stazon are really really good. They look fab on acetate and shrink plastic.

The JudiKins Lucky Cat is on one of the Nellie Snellen Eastern Dies.

New TV Show

We spent yesterday afternoon at Create & Craft filming our new TV show that should be on air Saturday 5th June at 3pm.

During the show I did briefly use one of the new Stazon inkpads so that you can see what a fabulous look they give.

Hope you'll be able to watch the show.

Emma from Time to Sow came with us to the studios to see how it all works and she got to sit in the gallery with the Producer and the Director and see how things are on the other side of the camera.

Demo Day Photos Part 2

On entering our classroom you would have seen the lovely Paula Pascual working with her clear stamps and Distress inkpads. Sitting next to Paula was Lindsay from Kuretake demonstrating with their KC3000 alchohol pens.

Next around the room was Karen Lines from Creative Expressions working with their rubber stamps, Distress inkpads and Cosmic Shimmer.

In the far corner was our very own Lesley with an abundance of her wonderful artwork which included the new truck and VW Beetle from Printworks.Last, but by no means least was Kay Carley working with DeNami stamps and the Pearlescent Watercolour paint palette.
