Beachcomber is an opportunity to create three unique cards from start to finish! We will be creating cards featuring Lawn Fawn’s How You Bean? Seashell Add-On stamp set. Jenn will have dedicated time to go over the watercoloring of all the images. Even if you won’t be coloring with Distress Watercolor Pencils, the instructions from Jenn will help those who are using any other water coloring medium. Jenn will share guidance for building scenes with your cards. As always, tips and tricks will be shared throughout the class. Jenn will also share the designs of 2 bonus cards, using the supplies we used in class. Tons of inspiration for you to use with your crafty supplies! (please note this is the same class that I taught at Crop on the Cape in March 2024)
Class will be LIVE on June 21st. However, if you can’t make it LIVE, you can watch the class videos anytime it works into your schedule.

Beach scenes + watercolor pencils + a mermaid = a super fun and magical class!! I love how Jenn used just one set of pencils making it easy for beginners. She does a wonderful job of explaining techniques and shows you each step. Jenn takes the “scare” out of watercoloring. If have taken many watercoloring classes with her, you will also benefit from taking this class. The bonus cards are adorable and I can’t wait to recreate them.
