Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Hello ladies Here - as promised are the start of the Mold 2013 project photos - where the challenge was an ATC for each month with theme of own choice plus basically one per month - so 12 ATC's.  I left the choice to the ladies of Mold to decide whether to make 3 of each - so that if possible I could have one for the club folder & they could also swap one. Today it is the photos of Rhiannon's project & her theme was Book Titles & as well as giving the name of the book on the back of the ATC Rhiannon gave the author.; This is how the ATC's were presented and this is the inside of the book. January Tan ar y comin which if I have read Rhiannon's writing correctly translates as Fire on the Common I did a Google translation & that came up as "Until the Common" perhaps you would get back to me Rhiannon & say which is right.

Hello again After some thought I felt it was a shame for there not to be photos of part 2 of the Mold II meeting - so I took some photos of a few of the embossing folders that I tried. An absolutely great wood grain folder Fantastic background folder - can see gems going on the criss cross areas on this one Now I fell in love with this butterfly one - & all the other photos are of this folder on different colours - but they don't always show up that clearly - the colour that is. This folder was one of Carolyn's & as she said some of those butterflies can be cut out to do 3-d work. I have one set of the Mold 2013 project ready to post - will do that tomorrow. Night night   

Hi everyone Do you remember that post about the little flowers from the Mold II club night & how we all wanted to rush off & buy the dies. Well I ordered mine that night & they arrived this morning - but I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to play yet.  But Betty also received hers & although she told me she was busy she managed to have a play & sent me photos.  So it is only fair that I a show them here. Betty - they are beautiful & I can't wait to try them. Sorry! I couldn't get this one any clearer - but aren't they great? Much clearer photo - Betty - they are gorgeous. I need to play!!!!! I will be back later with a little more info from the Mold II meeting. 'Bye for now.

Hi My final visit today. Just popping in to show you two recent birthday cards that I made, then tomorrow I hope to start showing the Mold 2013 project photos. I made both of these using some stamps from The Stamp Man that I bought quite a long time ago. I found some delicate background papers from my stash & then stamped the images on white card & embossed them in gold.  Using my favourite "The Works" water colour paints & an aqua brush I coloured the butterflies to tone with the background paper.  One of the individual images was then stamped & painted, cut out & stuck on the card with sticky pads.  The Happy Birthday was stamped & embossed in gold.  Some ribbon completes the look. That's me for now - night night.

Yes - it's me again I have just updated the Mold club page with their 2014 project details. Ladies please read it as there is information there for you. 'Bye again.

Hi it's me again. I have just updated the CSNW club page with the details of their 2014 project. Ladies please read it as there is some general information on there to assist you. 'Bye for now.

Hi everyone I am going to be popping in & out during the evening. The first "pop in" is to say that I have updated the Mold II page with regard to their Show & Tell next month.  It was to have been an ATC with Zentangle - but they haven't done Zentangle yet - so I have changed the subject of the ATC. 'Bye for now.

Good morning everyone Just popping in to make a correction to this post.  The little flowers on the lilac & white card by Carolyn are not freesias but fuschias.  I think I had got so excited about being able to order the die I got confused as to what the flower was. Getting confused is not difficult for me these days. Good evening everyone. Yes! the meeting was only this evening & it is not usual for me to put the photos up on the same day. But when Bob is not at home I tend to stay up later, also I was home at a reasonable time - so able to sort the photos onto my laptop sooner.  There is only one set from this evenings meeting & they are of the Show & Tell cards where the theme was a card using Polka Dots. Look at this lovely little fellow - even his t-shirt is spotty. Isn't he cute? This is absolutely stunning in black & cream.  The black layer was done on Co-ordination's card & sanded back to the core.  Even the dandelion looks

Good evening everyone.  Here I am with the photos from the project for the Mold meeting last Thursday.  Well it was more of a play with a technique, & that technique was "Thumping".  No-one got as far as making a card using their efforts - but there was lots of playing done. Here are the photos - I did take a lot - but some of them didn't come out too well.  I have managed to improve some & I think I have some from everybody. This one has quite a bit of thumping on it - but it looks great (well it would if it was clearer). Some great tulips. Don't these leaves look great - click on them for a larger photo. Two very delicate fans - the top one came out clearer. There are quite a few of these leaves - it's a perfect stamp for the technique. Love the effect on these. Sorry it is a bit fuzzy - I did try to improve it - but this was the best result. Click on it & see if the larger photos shows it
