Fran-tage It! with Jenn
9:00-12:00

Join me Jennifer Dove for an opportunity to experience the fantastic style, images and techniques that make up the Fran•táge look from Stampendous. This combination of collage, montage, vintage, and Stampendous owner Fran Seiford’s unique flair creates a style that will surprise and delight you with its simplicity and sophistication. You’ll learn to use Aged Embossing Enamels, Vintage Crushed Glass Glitters, mica fragments and other products in the Fran•táge line along with new Stampendous images to create aged, worn, and fabulous works of art. Fran’s Encrusted Jewel Technique will leave you breathless, and you’ll be wowed by how easy it is to make these remarkable pieces.
We will be embossing and "frantage-ing" many images and making a card out of one of the images you choose. Bring - basic card making tools (adhesive, cutter, tweezers, etc.) Bring your HEAT GUN!
