Vicki Boutin with Birds of a Feather

An afternoon of mixed media lessons with the Queen of MM herself Vicki B was on the cards today. Tracy and I made a day of it with a road trip up North which included a pit stop for afternoon tea.

Demonstrating whilst we played along Vicki taught us an array of techniques using her art crayons with paintbrushes, accetate and masks to achieve different looks.

Whilst we didn't complete any pages on the day we did make four backgrounds which we could then add photos, elements, a title and journaling to.

Hey little Maggie were the on site shop selling some Vicki branded products where I treated myself to all three sets of the art crayons as well as some lush mini alphabets and papers from Pinkfresh Studios. Just a wonderful day with the fabulous team who are Birds of a Feather who never fail to put on a carefully thought out day with lots of special little touches.

Lots learned and confidence built with the crayons which I can making lots of regular appearances on future layouts.
