Dogs - Elizabeth Crafts Julie Kelly

Elizabeth Craft has come out with the cutest release of dogs. Come play with Julie and make 4 cards including one using a wobbler to make his head move and of course a shaker card.  

Please bring the following supplies to class. Please note there will be some small pieces so I do recommend tweezers if you like them or a sticky gem picker tool.

Tape Runner

Liquid Adhesive

Foam Strips or on a roll

Craft Sheet

Tweezers or a Sticky Gem Tool (optional but quite a few little pieces)

Brown Marker (anyone just to color the legs of a chair)

Pink or Red Marker for their mouths (any)

Inks (matching brush for each color family)

Green (I used mowed lawn but any works)

Brown (I used a few colors including gathered twig and brushed cord)

Think of dogs that you want color wise for one card. Feel free to bring a picture if you want.   I have cut them in white and you get to color as you want.  You can use Copics but I just used ink and brushes. So for instance, if you want a yellow lab you may want to bring some yellows or light browns for that. 

Please note that I will have some ink and brushes to share if you do not have them. I will also have extra markers as well.
