csnw photos - part 2

Hello again.

Now for the photos from the project last night - which was the Ghosting technique.  There are lovely results & they are missing the extra stamping stage - so they would look even more stunning. If you are puzzled by that statement CSNW ladies - then read the instruction notes you were given & see also the highlighted paragraph in last night's post.  Despite my list at the side of me of what to do & when - I missed a step.  You just cannot get the staff these days can you! Don't answer that.

Not all of them were made into cards, so when they weren't on a card I grouped the 3 pieces together to photograph.

Some great ghosting there & that is just the right sort of stamp for this technique. Great layout on each piece.

This will look even better when it has had the second stamping on it - because then there will be more detail & colour.

Another good ghost & they have been put on a card. Apart from a great technique it is also a way of using up small pieces of card that you would normally throw away.

This one was a bit of a blurry photo - but I have managed to sharpen it up some.

Great ghosting & think what extra stamping would do to it. Also another card made.

This one not only made it to a card it has a greeting too.

Those daisies are so effective in this technique.

Oops! how did they get in there - they were the ones I demo'd

This shows how effective it can still be on lighter card.  I think the main drama is on darker card - but I like the effect on these colours.  Also the top layer stamping was done in black over the white.  Looks good.

This was another blurry photo - but I have managed to sharpen it.  Also another black on white ghosting again.

These lacy type floral stamps also work very well as shown here.  So basically I think - forget my earlier statement about a perfect image - anything works.

Talking about anything works - how about this apple in black & white.

This has photographed rather pale - although I did darken it a little.  I suggest you click on it for a better image.  Very delicate image & has also made it to a card.

Well, that is all 3 clubs that have now tried this technique & I think everyone has enjoyed it & been surprised by their own efforts.  So thank you once again to Joanna for bringing it to our attention.

Oh yes! I must also give another thank you - especially from the CSNW ladies as only one of them possessed a Stamp Positioner.  The thank you is to Nigel - Joanna's husband - who made a supply of them for us.  Thank you Nigel.

Right, that is me done for now.  I still have some cards to make & on Saturday I am off to another altered canvas workshop.  This time it is a little more heritage / vintage style & includes a photo.  I am not sure how I feel about heritage as the photo I am using is one of me with my grand-daughter when she was little.  Still it will be a nice keepsake - providing I do it ok.

Take care in this awful wind - no getting blown over.

'Bye for now.
