Well, a while back I started the Bella Donna online class with Jodi Ohl, from her Roses on My Table workshop.
I used what supplies I already owned rather than buying more gear in hopes of and getting use out of supplies sitting around my craft room collecting dust, so my efforts look different to Jodi's.
However, I will try again soon and hopefully achieve an end result similar to the class sample, still using the same supplies used before. I think it was really all in my technique rather than the supplies that made the difference.
