Another recent card

Good morning ladies & I am pleased to say what a lovely blue-sky sunny day it is.

This morning I have the second of my recently made birthday cards to show you & it is another one using that silver grey card.


Again I used an off cut of one of the many 8x8 papers I have which I layered onto black card.  I also used black ink for the "happy birthday" & the "just for you".  Ages ago in amongst a paper pack I bought there were a lot of sheets of these flourishes that I have used.  They are mostly black but some have black one side & white the other.  As with the papers - I have lots.  So I used 2 of them to create this double fluorish & coloured 2 little white paper flowers with a black Promarker to place over the join. Then I added clear crystal gems in the middle & also on the 2 larger flowers on the topper.

I console my rubber stamping mind with the fact that although the largest portion of the card is paper crafting I have stamped something.

This evening we are having a family meal to celebrate Bob's birthday yesterday, but in the meantime during the afternoon Bob - with help from our son Russell - is putting together my new bookcase. Then tomorrow - its redesign craft room day.   :)

That's me for now.  Another card tomorrow.  Then during the day Christmas comes down & all my handmade cards will be put to the side in readiness for me to photograph them.

Have a nice day.

Over the last year or so all 3 clubs have been getting themselves sorted out in order to continue running the clubs from now on. 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.
