Topstitch Cards

Last night, I had the first of my monthly Card Workshops for February.  This month we are using the new Topstitch Level 2 Papers.  Each month, we create 10 cards - 2 each of 5 designs, using a specific Level 2 Paper Packet.  I've simplified my workshops by using the Workshop on the Go designs, however they are slightly modified.  As I try to keep the cost of the workshop to $10, some of the cards may not be as elaborate as those shown in the Workshop on the Go.

Papers: Topstitch Level 2 Paper Packet

Stamps: Love is in the Air (WOTG Exclusive)

Inks: Chocolate, Baby Pink, Heavenly Blue

Accessories: Colonial White Ribbon, Colonial White Brads, Sparkles, Craft Buttons Basic Collection

Techniques: Scissor Distressing, Paper Piercing, Sponging

As I couldn't use the Dimensional Elements Hearts (cost issue), I opted to use a punch and punch them from cardstock.  The hearts are sponged in Chocolate Ink to give them an "edge", then pop-dotted for dimension.
