cards for workshops
Hello ladies
My what a beautiful day - will it last over the bank holidays?
Today I have got the photos of the 2 cards I made for my workshop yesterday. I am afraid the caught in crystal one is not very good. I tried several different ways of taking it. Without the flash wasn't any good & with the flash you get a light in the middle & the stamped image on the front was not so clear either. But the colours have come out well. In fact I have so enjoyed playing with this technique again that I am going to make up a couple of sheets with different inks & just save them for backgrounds. The spotlight technique is very simple & basic. Here they are;
Isn't that pram cute? It's from a range by the maker "Kars" & they are all small stamps. Great fun to work with.
As I mentioned yesterday my workshop today was a new group of ladies starting on Crochet. The craft shop is undergoing some changes & the area that is the workshop was having a new floor laid. It was part done yesterday - but today they were going to try & finish it. The only place to hold the workshop was the coffee shop. I was a bit worried that we might get interrupted with people wanting to know what we were doing - but only one lady came up & spoke to us. Turned out it was the very thing she wanted to learn - so she put her name down for the next session.
After the workshop & back at home, I made sure I had a sample of the card we will be making in the May meeting for Mold & Mold II, & there might even be 2 samples. I think CSNW make it in June or maybe a bit later. I also spent a few minutes heat embossing some fabric flowers - trying a different method of doing it other than using the melt pot. I was pleased with the result & hope to do some more tomorrow. Those that I did some time back using my melt pot I didn't like they were too thick - this method was better.
Right I have some other photos for you - but I am going to put those in a second blog. So that's it on this one, the next one follows straight after.

The other card I have to show you is the very quick card I made for my friend who had just become a grandmother for the second time. There is stamping on it so I do save face;
