The Twelve Tags of Christmas: the Rangerpalooza Way

As a Ranger Certified Instructor, I’ve spent a lot of time making samples for all the fun techniques that I’ve learned using their product lines.  Often my classes have focused SOLELY on technique, and not on a finished tag – well that is all about to change.  So get ready to not only LEARN some great techniques, but also make some fun FINISHED ARTWORK on tags so you can get a jump on your holiday card making – or simply use them on holiday layouts!  As always, techniques are thoroughly spelled out for future review.  This class will feature my favorite techniques using Distress Inks, Color Washes, Perfect Pearls, Distress Crackle Paint and more and will feature products from Prima, including watercolor and transparency paintables.  Remember, this is a no white clothing zone!
