Another INSPIRATION STATION card featuring Hero Art's Autumn clear stamp set and Autumn Frame Cuts die set. Even though it's October, our September INSPIRATION STATION is still our focus until the Art 'n Soul Christmas Party on Sunday, October 18.
This INSPIRATION STATION card comes from me. I wanted to get away from the beautiful fall colors just to be different. I love to pair the color gray with anything, so this is what I did.

Continuing with Kristen Powers' RubberMoon classes at Art 'n Soul, I wanted to share more delights from the students with their "works in progress". I stress "work in progress" because there just wasn't enough time to finish anything because we were having so much fun learning new techniques, ideas and how to combine the various stamp designs.
These first projects are either the front or back cover to a small art journal we made from watercolor card stock. Kristen showed us how to take large tablet sheets, measure them, and tear the sheets to size with a "tear bar" . . . a new essential tool! Black gesso was a product that was very important to the outcome of this project as well!

Another class on Sunday was making a little keepsake with two Stampbord tiles, Peerless watercolor papers, and a small hinge. Most everyone finished one side, with the other side to do at home.

We also took a pre-cut alphabet letter from RubberMoon, and traced that onto a squared watercolor card stock. Various RubberMoon stamps were used to further illustrate the letter, and colored in with colored pencils or watercolors.

Since I made the mistake of trying to keep track of who made what on my iPhone in the "notes", I hope that I remembered correctly. The base is colored with acrylic paints.

The Magenta blog has been full of wonderful colors using new stencil and stamp designs; and, in most cases, using the new Nuance powdered watercolors.
