Autumn and Halloween Cardmaking Workshop

Welcome to the September/October card making workshop at Spectrum Gallery.  In this unique workshop learn to compose four different layouts, create watercolor backgrounds using stamping and stenciled backgrounds using glitter and Xylon tape.  Become comfortable with Mod Podge as you embellish your Autumn glass jar candle with accent paper painted leaves.  Only supplies to bring are scissors, ruler, liquid glue or glue stick, double sided tape and any other embellishments that excite you.

These are the perfect handmade gifts to wish friends and family a joyous Fall season and a Happy Halloween!
