I decided to do two more posts about our fun weekend because I have too many photos to put all in one. So for today, I'll be sharing some of the cards we made in the Hero Arts classes and a few other photos as well.
Jennifer and Shari taught both classes together. They are fast-paced, fun and inspiring!
Here's Anita and Trinh, waiting for class to start.
Of course I have to share a few photos of our teachers!
Their first class was called Thinking Inking and we made three awesome cards!
This first one is really cool! You can't tell in this picture, but a portion of the flower is adhered to the back of the sentiment strip.
Here it is, starting to open. . . .
. . .and here's what the inside looks like. Isn't that fun?!
Another card using a fun technique where you use the back side of the stamp to create a pretty effect behind some of the stamped snowflakes.
Then we got to use distress stains!
After applying the stains to the embossed background, we spritzed it heavily with perfect pearl spray. So pretty in real life! This was my favorite card of the class. I was convinced I did not need to buy any of these distress stains but after playing with them, I changed my mind and heading up to Archiver's to pick some up. Love them!
I'll be back tomorrow with the cards from our second class and some fun photos of our dinner together, so please stop by again.
Thanks for visiting! :)

Wow you can see you are all having so much fun Barb, just wish I could have joined in. Love all your cards and the last one is so cool. I have just got my first pot of distress stain and I am still practicing with it. Keep the photos coming Barb.

Really great projects Barb! Love the colours on the swirly background on your snowman card.
Oh my, thanks for sharing that fabulous window card, it's so creative! Gotta love Jennifer and Shari, they have a wonderful friendship and I love their classes.
Can't wait to see the photos of your dinner meet up. I'm so glad you are having fun with the flickr gals!
All cards are so beautiful, Barb!!! Aren't the Stains FUN? That background is just awesome, did you mist the paper before applying the Stains?
Barb- love all the photo's you shared! We sure had a blast together and love the Hero Arts classes- Shari and Jennifer are so fun. Hope to see you more over the next few months and have fun with all your new goodies you bought- he he!!
Thanks for such great photos, Barb! Looks like a jolly time was had by all. The cards are beautiful and I love the stains! May have to purchase a couple of them.

How fun Barb. Thank you for sharing with all of us who could not go!
Wow, these cards are fantastic! Everyone looks like they are having such fun! Thanks for sharing the pics Barb.
Thanks so much for sharing your fun day with us Barb, the cards you made are wonderful, can I ask when you made the last card with the distress stains did you use watercolour paper?
Smiles:)
Aw.. I drooling for all the fun time you had! Thanks for sharing the happy photos! Trinh and Anita look excited and darling! The class cards are simply fabulous!! I love the inking and distressing on them. You now have convinced me to get the Distress Stains! THANKS for the enabling!
Oh so envious... I'll love to attend a class with Shari and Jennifer. Your cards are stunning. I too, am going to have to look at getting some stains. I've got the white one only so far.
Looks like another awesome day Barb. Love ALL these cards! I've already gotten the distress stains addiction from Wendy Vecchi - I know how it is. BTW, I'm so envious you have an Archivers - the closest one to me is in Atlanta or Raleigh - both 4 hours away!!!
So much fun to see all your pics. I love the cards you made, so nice.
Another fun post, Barb - those were fabulous cards, weren't they?! Yours turn out beautifully!
Thanks for sharing, Barb! Looks like lots of fun!
You are so kind to take time and share your cards with us. I know you will come home with so many new techniques to try. Sheri and Jennifer are such good teachers. Love their videos.

Oh man! Wish I was there too:-) Would have been so much fun to finally meet everyone, as well as learn a few new techniques!!! Jealous:-)
The cards are awesome! Sounds like you had a wondeful time! Looking forward to seeing more photo's.
Oh these are all wonderful cards, Barb!Thanks for sharing all the fun photos, it's nearly as good as being there! I haven't even got all the colours in distress inks and now you have me thinking I must get stains, lol!
Your pictures are spectacular Barb. I feel that I am right there with you!
Such marvelous cards! I can see on the pictures how much you enjoyed.
fabulous projects barb...looks like you had a real fun time...hugs kath xxx
More fun photos :) and some BEAUTIFUL cards as well! I'd love to know what the bg on the snowman card is- do you happen to know? It is stunning and the coloring of it if simply divine!
Both cards are lovely! The pictures are so fun! Glad you got to take the classes.
I love the idea of having part of the flower adhered to the sentiment. I am completely addicted to window cards at the moment and this is a fab idea!
These are so beautiful Barb! I especially love the last one with the Distress Stains! I bought some too but am not yet happy with how I am using them, I probably need to play a bit more.
