Colors for Class

As I mentioned in my last post, I haven't hosted my small friends and family class in ages, so most of them haven't seen the new In Colors yet. Well, it just so happens that HandStampedSentiments challenge this week is to use ALL of them together, so that's what I did, along with the Mojo Monday sketch, which had enough elements and layers to utilize them all easily. And once again, I just cannot get over the amazing new ink pads, and how such fine detailed images, as well as those more solid ones, all come out crystal clear... I can't WAIT to share these with the girls, not to mention this beautiful ribbon! Again, with the objective of keeping things simple enough to get through it with my whole, mostly beginner class, I left things as basic as possible, and with so many layers, I decided against sponging all the edges, etc. Fortunately, all the great DSPs add a lot of texture on their own.
