Cards from Technique Tuesday classes

I have finally finished the cards from the Technique Tuesday classes I took at the CK Convention in Houston.  The first 5 cards are from the Expanding your Creative Border class:

The last card with the flowers and butterfly I am entering in the Paper Playtime Challenge .

The challenge is Flower Power.  I completed the card on Monday

although the borders were done at the workshop as well as

coloring the rick rack.  Hope this is still eligible. :)   

      The next 5 cards were from the Top Techniques for Tantalizing Cards:

There is a story behind the first card.  My Siamese Kitten, Bear,

 decided he  was going to help me Tuesday as I was making

this set of cards.  Most of these cards use Classic Technique

 Tiles from Technique Tuesday.   As I was detaching the tiles  

from their cardboard home, I would leave the excess edges

on my work table.  Bear was hovering around the table top

(My table is up against my computer desk), he would   

sneak in and take off with the edge pieces of the cardboard. 

On this card I had detached the ornate tile and had colored it

with CTMH Cranberry sp and let it dry.  I then usedthe

houndstooth acrylic stamp from the Dream Big stamp set

we received in the class.  I had attached the colored tile to the

stamped background and went left for a few minutes.  When I got

 back, the card was on the floor with a piece of the tile torn off and

 Bear playing with it.  While he was stealing the card top from my

work table he had also stepped in my CTMH Cocoa stamp pad.

  Needless to say Bear was in trouble ( I just scolded him), but I

think I managed to repair the damage except  for some tell tale

 brown spots left by Bear.                                                    

 

I really enjoyed making these cards.  The kit had everything but

the basic supplies and two of my own stamp pads.  I did get 2

 new acrylic stamp sets, one for each of the classes, a blue ink

 cube in the techniques class and a chalk blue and chalk gold ink

cube with the borders class plus directions and supplies to

complete all of the cards.  The classes werevery fast paced and

 we were really only able to cover techniques and pieces that

 were needed to complete the cards at home.  I still have the

 cards to make from the Cards for a year class, so more cards

 to make.   YEA!! :)
