Course Result at Unik Hobby & A little bit of Easter Candy :)

Hi folks!

On Saturday I held a course at Unik Hobby for 8 people - 1 gentleman and 7 ladies!

Thank you so much for participating, and for giving me lots of positive credit :)

We started the course with colouring a Sarah Kay image from Stampavie with Distress Ink refills.

The intension for the colouration part, was that the participants should learn a bit about light and shadow, and how to work with the brush, to get the best possible result.

The colours we used for the image, was the same as the colours in the papers we used to make the basket.

The participants also learned how to mask the image, and make a shadow around it with ink.

Colours used on this image:

Skin: Tattered Rose and Tea Dye

Cheeks:  Tea Dye + Fired Brick

Hair: Scattered Straw and Brushed Corduroy

Hat-ribbon, sweather, pathes and "chicken": Scattered Straw and Mustard Seed

Hat and pants: Dusty Concord

After colouring, the participants learned how to make a braided basket -
this time a little easter basket in the colours of yellow and purple.
The edges on the purple paper stripes are inked with Distress Ink - Dusty Concord, and
the yellow ones with Antique Linen or Scattered Straw.
Then the basket where embellished with the image, ribbon, lace, charms, flowers and pearls.

Everything I've used for this basket, can be bought at Unik Hobby :)

Supplies:
Ink: Archival Ink - Coffee, Distress Ink - Refills og Distress Ink Pads - Dusty Concord and Antique Linen.
Stamp: Stampavie - Sarah Kay "How sweet you are".
Papers: Kaiser Craft - Lilac Avenue Collection "Wisteria", "Dandelion" and " Sweet Pea", Bazzill - Chiffon and purple cardstock.

Embellies: Unik Hobby - roses, rosebuds, daffodils, purple heartshaped pearls, golden heart charm and ribbon, Kort & Godt - pearls 3mm, lace and a eyelet.

Quantity and mesurments:
Half a sheet of each of the yellow patterned papers for the basic basket; cut into 14 stripes in 2 cm.
10 cm of the purple patterned paper, cut into 1 stripe in 4 cm for the handle, and 3 stripes in 2 cm to the borders inside and outside the basket.
One stripe in about 2,5 cm of Bazzill - Chiffon is used on the backside of the handle to make it stronger.
