Oct. 10 Stampfest with Hetty, Lynette and Shelly

Lynette and I stamp together frequently. On October 10th, we had the wonderful opportunity to stamp with Hetty, who came all the way from The Netherlands and Shelly, who is a friend of Hetty, but lives fairly close to me! Shelly brought her Pan Pastels for us to try. Lynette showed us how to use gesso and brass stencils to get gorgeous textured impressions on paper.

A sampling of everyone's artwork.

Hetty shared the Stampin' Up Owl punch with us and guided us in making cool Halloween Cards inspired by Michelle Zindorf's Any Hooooo Tutorial #409

Hetty actually worked in her journal at my house! How cool to be on vacation and actually do something like this in your journal!!!

Here are some photos of our fun day:
