Hi everyone. It's June and time for another of my Monthly Card Classes. Here is the first card of three for my class to make.
I decided to play around with my Gel Press this month for the background. I try and keep it simple with little mess for my classes.
FSJ's Gel Press is 8.5 x 11 in size, which is perfect for designing FOUR card bases at the same time. I also used FSJ Liquid Colors and their fabul,ous 6" brayer. So much fun with this brayer with minimal lines.
I used three FSJ Stamp Sets. The main image is from "Blue Skies", the trees from "Nature Grown" I also used the Happy Birthday and the flying birds for the June 2018 Bloom Box called "Set Sail".
All images are Heat embossed and the entire card is splattered with Sparkle Silk. The clouds are die cut and sponged with Pan Pastels.
I used the Summer Pretties Punch to make the flower. This punch is retiring the end of this month. BUT, it's on sale for only $8.95 for those of you that would still like to pick up on it. Just click the link for it at the end of this post.

Product List
I'm busy working on the cards for my October Classes.
Here is the first of three.
This one was a little time consuming but so much fun to make. All products used are from Fun Stampers Journey.
The card base is Butter Cream and the next layer is Pumpkin Bread.
The background was made using the exclusive FSJ 8.5 x 11 size Gel Press, using Liquid colors of Lemon Drop, Limeade Splash and Rich Coral. I brayered those colors and then used the Falling Petals stencil on top.
I then took what inks were still on the brayer and ran it across the Playful Leaves Background Stamp and applied that on top.
I stamped Give Thanks from the Bountiful Thanks Stamp Set with Cocoa Powder Ink then clear detail embossing powder.
I added some Gold Silk over all.
The leaves were stamped with the Clear Pigment Ink and then colored with Pan Pastels and fussy cut. There is a matching die set for the leaves, but I LOVE to cut buy hand.
I attached a piece of the corrugated paper with the Pumpkin Patch Ribbon on top. I popped up the leaves and added a bow made from the Pumpkin Patch Ribbon.
I then used the Detailed Foliage Die and Gold Mirror paper to add a little more fun detail.
Gel Press, Brayer, stencil, and PanPastels used on this cad, are all on sale at 20% off until the end of September.
