Under The Sea: Online Class

Under The Sea is an opportunity to create 4 unique cards from start to finish with Jenn Shurkus and Chari Moss! We will be creating cards featuring Lawn Fawn’s Critters in the Sea stamp set. Jenn will have dedicated time to go over the Copic coloring of all the images. Jenn & Chari will share instructions for interactive cards, building scenes with your cards, and some watercolor fun. As always, throughout the class, tips and tricks will be shared.  Jenn & Chari 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!
