Anita Houston is coming back to teach us some fun techniques for Spring! Read on for more details on her workshops and how to enter and win in the Spring Fling Blog Hop.

Flowers & Miracles Tag

Using the Techniques: Stenciling & Painting with Embossing Paste, The Trinity Resist

March 21st 6-9pm  $25

Every year, the creative stars line up and invent exceptional products, and “sometimes” when those products are combined, a match is made that is so super special it can ignite the crafting world. The products by themselves are wonderful of course, but in my opinion when combined, are revolutionary! I am of course speaking about Wendy Vecchi’s Embossing Paste from Dreamweaver, Tim Holtz’s Distress Paints from Ranger, and Dyan Reaveley’s Dylusions Ink Sprays from Ranger.  Using the first two together creates a wonderful resist for the latter, so I call this The Trinity Resist, and you will see the wonderful results from it when you complete this inspirational tag.

Spring Queen Altered Paintbrush

Using the Technique: Alteration of Materials

March 22nd 12-4pm  $40

Most of us have art materials and embellishments lingering in our craft stash that we would like to use up and give new life to. It's always nice to find new ways to use items that have always been used in a traditional way, and have something amazing adorning your wall.  In this class you will use a paintbrush as a base as well as the body of an Angel. She will be adorned with all sorts of beautiful bits and fabric too.
