Card Crafting Cruise

I'm new to the world of blogging so please bear with me. Yesterday I returned from a 5 day card crafting cruise out of Tampa. On the at sea days we had a total of 6 classes learning new techniques. I was excited because I'd never used alcohol inks for example and we made 2 cards using this tecchnique. Tapestry stamps were used on one card and we were given a set of the inks and stamps to keep. Great as I've never seen those in my area.  Another card used watercolor techniques then cut with Spellbinder's dies and decorated with stickles. Another card was a combination of alcohol inks and heat embossing. As an addded surprise we were each given a printer's tray with 9 openings. We decorated each opening with cruise mementos of our travel to Mexico. So we have a lovely decoration to hang or display to remind us of our experience. Will definately do this type of activity again. Card makers are the most generous and fun people to be around. Take care
