some quick cards
Good evening ladies
This morning I had the last session on my latest rubber stamping course workshop. I had ordered the topics being covered over the weeks so that this last session could be used for recaps & answering any queries along with the opportunity to retry things that perhaps did not go well at home. Topics that we covered again were stamping on shrink plastic - getting a better shape; ultra thick embossing - getting better coverage; the right inks to use Copic markers with. It was a really good session.
Talking of Copic markers I have a request - which also includes Promarkers, please. Is there anywhere that has a chart or list of the right inks to use with each of these markers. Also any hints & tips sheets. I have read quite a bit about them on the web - but usually that is someone showing how they coloured in a particular image, especially describing blending. I am quite happy with the basics but I just want to make sure I am not missing anything important.
This afternoon I sorted out materials & patterns for a workshop I used to run some time ago - embroidery on paper. I don't have any worked samples left - so I had to buy thread & print out some patterns ready to work on over the next couple of days. I like combining the stitched borders & frames with stamped images - but for the workshop will have to have some complete image designs, such as butterflies or posies of flowers.
After sorting out the embroidery items I turned to some quick card making. I have 2 kits of cards containing 15 cards in each. The basic cards are white & beautifully embossed in 5 each of 3 designs. The pack also comes with card embellishments - butterflies, flower shapes, ribbon roses, floral sequins, flat back gems, & more. I put together 10 of the cards with only a small amount of decoration on - nowhere near as much as they illustrated. I have photographed 4 of them made from 2 of the designs & one just the card. - from the third design. When I start on the second pack I am going to stamp, but I needed to get some put together quite quickly. I think you will agree that the embossing is beautiful - which really shows up on the undecorated one;
I think that last one just calls for a greeting, don't you. I have been wondering if I would be able to chalk them but really don't want to spoil them, & although they were only £4-99 per pack I still don't want to waste one.
