"Dogwood branch
I want to show you another card with stamps from the new catalog :
The dogwood branch stamp is white heat embossed on the label and colored with distress inks (wild honey, rusty hinge, mustard seed and crushed olive). Added some brown distress ink around the edges to make it more stand out.
The background cardstock is sponged with distress inks shabby shutters and crushed olive and randomly stamped the elegant branch with crushed olive distress ink.
For the butterfly I colored a piece of white cardstock with wild honey distress inks and spritz it with water. Than stamped the butterfly on it with rusty hinge distress ink. Cut it out and added some extra rusty hinge around the edges with the blending tool. Finally added some pearls for the finishing touch.
The sentiment is stamped with Archival black."

The class schedule came out today; if you didn't receive an email from the store, please call the store (360.357.6820) or email the store at artnsoul@artnsoul.comcastbiz.net to make sure we have the correct email address for you.
You’ll have fun making this lovely 3D lamp, illuminated by a flickering battery operated light. There will be a choice of two different kits. One would be pretty all year around, the other perfect for the Christmas holidays. All the paper products will be supplied, precut, and ready for you to assemble and decorate in the class. You will leave with a completely finished lamp, ready for you to display. You will need to bring your Basic Kit, including a strong quick drying adhesive, and/or double sided tape. (I suggest either Scotch Quick-Dry Adhesive, Zip Dry Paper Glue, or ScorTape.) After you’ve made one of the lamps, you may decide that you want to make the other, so additional kits will be available for purchase after the class.
This weekend's Recycled Rubber is going to be one of the biggest ones we've seen in quite a while. There is so much Recycled Rubber that has been brought into the store this past month.

Sat, August 31, 10am-3pm, MaryJo McGraw – “Bring on the Gelli!” $40
Monoprint techniques are so much fun and now with the Gelli Plate you can take it anywhere! This lush printing surface is perfect . . . easy to use for beginners and flexible to create incredibly intricate prints for more advanced students. We will use natural elements, textural surfaces, cutouts, as well as stencils and stamps. Join MaryJo and create multiple layered prints with your favorite imagery that you can use in journals, books arts, cards, or on larger pieces of art. Bring your Gelli Plate (any size), brushes, a pad of drawing paper, your favorite design oriented stamps, and your favorite acrylic colors. MaryJo will bring special paint, some unusual papers, stamps, stencils and more!
Sunday, September 1, 10am-3pm, MaryJo McGraw –“Enhance your STYLE Journal Class” $40
Explore, enhance and create your personal journals with a style of your own! Learn how to use your favorite imagery and mediums to invent a personal look in your artwork, and also how to refine and design your intimate icons and build concepts throughout your artwork! For those of you that took the class last time, we will be looking at different technique but will use the same supplies.
In this class MaryJo will show you a wide range of fun techniques including Copic and Sharpie pen methods, oil pastels, Pan Pastels, graphite and charcoal ideas, how to draw even if you think you can't, acrylic and watercolor concepts, gel mediums, stencils, and loads of spontaneous fun! Bring along a mixed media style journal (Strathmore makes a great one), scissors and any paper ephemera or collage material you would like to use, Copic markers and a variety of paint brushes if you have them, and anything else you normally journal with. MaryJo will bring paint, Pan Pastels, and a variety of other items to play with. You are asked to bring your basic class kit to include scissors, 10 (ten) large collage (magazine or on thin copy paper) images, and 5 design-oriented rubber-stamps.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND
WE WILL BE CLOSED FOR LABOR DAY
Wednesday, September 4, 10am-5pm, Fred Mullett – “ELEGANT MESS + JUST THE MESS PLUS = ELEGANT MESS PLUS” $80 (Students may make a $40 deposit, with the final payment due 10 days before the class.)
(This class is a combination of the original, regular Mess and the previously offered Rest Of The Mess. It is intended as a 6 hour Workshop offerinplus a 1 hour break.)
DESCRIPTION:
A veritable food fight of a class! Where the spontaneous meets the specific. Where the positive meets the negative. And where leftovers go to play. We will fiddle around with principles of figure/ground relationship as we integrate Ranger Color Wash Dyes and Luminarte H2Os, collage, stencils, and stamps on Oriental and watercolor paper with remarkable results.
We then take the Mess approach to festively decorating papers further and play with positive and negative space using stencils and masks. All in-class efforts focus around a 2.5" x 3.75" note card treatment, but this process is suitable for large format work as well. Understanding the concepts of positive and negative space can add miles to one's artistic efforts! Runs 6 hours (not including a break around the mid-point). Includes handouts and a large supply of instructor-provided supplies. Students will be responsible for a minimal list of specific required materials. Max - 12 students.

Wednesday, September 4, 6-8pm, Fred Mullett – “JUST THE MESS PLUS” $30
(This class is the previously offered Rest Of The Mess and is now part of the "Elegant Mess...Plus". It is offered here separately for those who have taken the earlier 4 hour Elegant Mess in the past. This is a firm prerequisite.)
DESCRIPTION:
Beyond the original “Elegant Mess” class, we continue to explore positive and negative space using festively decorated Asian and watercolor paper, then over-print using masks and stencils to suppress some areas and bring out others. We'll accentuate our choices with line and color and instill in each piece a great sense of whimsy...and maybe some bling too. We’ll again mount our favored efforts onto A-2 size notecards, but will see other examples of usage.
Runs 2 hours. Includes handouts and a large supply of instructor-provided supplies. Students will be responsible for a list of specific required materials. Max - 12 students.
Thursday, September 5, 10am-5pm, Fred Mullett – “SPRITZ ME + JUST THE SPRITZ PLUS = SPRITZ ME, BABY PLUS” $80 (Students may make a $40 deposit, with the final payment due 10 days before the class.)
This class is a combination of the regular Spritz and the expanded work/play time being labeled The Spritz PLUS. It is intended as a 6 hour+ Workshop offering.
DESCRIPTION:
Finding merit in the "less is more" concept and the power of imprecision, this class focuses on the soluble properties of markers and other water-based media to achieve watercolor effects using rubber stamps. Bleaching out imagery on black paper, then re-introducing color with high contrast accents is also tackled to achieve startling effects.

Bleaching out imagery on black paper, then re-introducing color with high contrast accents is also tackled to achieve startling effects.
We continue by taking all the fun ideas covered in the first half of the class and give ourselves some serious play time putting them to use. We’ll try pretty much anything from cropped efforts for some A-2 size notecards, to larger watercolor treatments to page size artwork that can be mounted on other flat surfaces like the composition books seen in the samples.
Chlorine bleach is used in this class. Due to the caustic nature of this chemical, students are STRONGLY warned of the hazards! Suggested safety materials may include - but are not limited to - latex gloves, a work apron, and eye protection. Remember to take care, and to look out for those around you and their property, and the property of the sponsoring institution for this class.
Runs 6 hours (not including a break around the mid-point) and includes handouts and a large supply of instructor-provided supplies. Students will be responsible for a minimal list of specific required materials. Max - 12 students.
Thursday, September 5, 6-8pm, Fred Mullett – “JUST THE SPRITZ PLUS” $30
This class is an advanced addendum of the regular Spritz Me, Baby class. It is a continuation of the original and is NOT for beginners!
It is mandatory they have taken the regular Spritz class as a pre-requisite for this one. Though it is included in the 6-hour workshop, as a separate class, it is for experienced students only.)
DESCRIPTION:
This session takes all the fun ideas brought up in the original “Spritz Me, Baby!” class and gives us some serious play time putting them to use. We’ll try pretty much anything from cropped efforts for some A-2 size notecards, to larger watercolor treatments to page size artwork that can be mounted on other flat surfaces like the composition books seen in the samples.
Runs 2 hours. $30.00 per student, includes handouts and a large supply of instructor-provided supplies. Students will be responsible for a list of specific required materials. Max - 12 students
Including the above, we have a lot more fabulous classes planned for Summer and Fall, with renowned instructors. We are arranging for dates and times with Judikins; Art Impressions (classes and trunk show); Some Assembly Required (Hasty Lace - classes and trunk show), and Marah Johnson of Splash of Color (think Silks acrylic glazes and InkaGold).
