the first background card

Good evening everyone

I have a photo for you tonight of the first card I have made using some of that background I showed you.


The base card is a 5x5 cream card. I have to admit I didn't watch too carefully when cutting the top triangle to make sure my 2 straight lines ended up parallel.  There is a slight widening but I am hoping the sentiment helps cover it up a bit, & must try better next time using that layout.  The little dots each side of the sentiment are white flat back pearls which I coloured with a black permanent pen.  I am hoping to find time to make another one tomorrow, but I am out for a little while in the morning & then I have a crochet workshop in the afternoon.  I am hoping to get another 2 cards from this background - which of course depends on what I actually do with what is left.

Well, that's me for tonight - more tomorrow.

Remember I announced in 2019 that I would be standing back at the end of 2020 & retiring.  I will of course keep in touch & visit the meetings now & again.  But it is now time for me to hang up my stamps.  Well not literally as I will still make cards - but you know what I meant. All 3 clubs now have the way forward sorted.  C

Jayne Nestorenko

Good morning I was informed this morning, by Rita of Mold II club, that Jayne Nestorenko had passed away on Saturday evening after a long illness. I suspect that there may be some amongst you who do not know of her - but many who do. I followed Jayne's work for a long time & many of those lovely large wooden stamps that were around came into my collection beause of her enthusiasm & creativity. I particularly enjoyed using, & held many workshops at Daleside, to show how to use the Treasure Box stamps which were very popular; I cannot now remember who made those stamps & there were different sizes & you made different shaped boxes according to how many pieces you stamped.  Then of course you also had the matching medallion stamp to place on the top of the box. The crafting world is saddened by the loss of this lovely lady. Sleep peacefully Jayne.
