Thought I'd post just a few pix from Seminar before I go to bed.
This first one is for recognition as a member of ClubMED (Managers, Executives, Directors). Because The Angel Company will be implementing a new Career/Compensation Plan, ClubMED as we have known it will no longer exist. Mischelle Smith (owner and CEO) called us her "senior class." ;-)
This is the gang I hung out with quite a bit. Front row: Amy K., Laurie W., Brenda H., Sarah G. Back row: me, Jennifer C.
Good news! I got recognized as a "Catalogue Designer" too! Can you look thru the catty and guess which one?!?!?!
Me with Mischelle Smith after the banquet where I received the honor of "Rising Star." I always thought it would be cool to earn a crown, and I was shocked that I actually did!!!! ;-)
One of my roomies, Amy, and I had the same top for the banquet--just a different print pattern! LOL
...and this is the back!
You can see more samples and info on Mischelle's Blog--she's the owner and CEO of TAC.
The tree top is a solid stamp, and I tried several different techniques until I got the look I wanted. I ended up stamping in Giverney Green and doing the rock and roll tech with Viridian Leaf. Then I crunched up wax paper and tapped the stamp with that. It gave me the crinkled look I was going for. The trunk is paper-pieced with Catelynn brown patterned paper (hard to see here), and I used a Souffle pen for the bird. I had to use a black Micro pen (retired) to go back over the bird's eye and wing.
I used the same Souffle pens for the bird inside, and again went back over the black with a Micro pen (retired).
After months of camera/reader issues, I'm posting TWICE in one day! Wow! This is a card that we did at one of my classes a few months ago using one of the "Spring Into April" special stamp sets called Forever Friends. We used Crystal Lacquer on the vase to make it look more realisitc. We also used Heather's tip for the tag. This card actually looks very elegant in real life. ;-)
