mold photos - part 1

Good morning everyone.

Today I have the first set of photos from last nights Mold club meeting & they are of their Show & Tell cards.  This month they had to make a card using one of the "string pull" items they had made at January's meeting.

Here is a reminder of what the "naked", so to speak, string pull design looked like.

Here are the cards they made;

Mair's card is beautifully simple, crisp & clean.

This would make a rather nice Sympathy card.

You wouldn't do one off - but a session of creating basics would be ideal & they could be made into whatever occasion occurred.

Sheelagh has embellished hers with pretty butterflies & those lovely almost oriental style words.

Beautiful!  

Lynn has given the image her mixed media style.

It works really well too.  It's a very versatile image - as the ladies are proving.

Janet made two cards & this is the first one.

The string pull design was created with 3 colours on the string,

& I like the way those colours have been used again for the background.

This is Janet's second card & this time she has used the image as a vase & 

placed die-cut flowers & foliage "in" it

At this stage it isn't actually a card it is the front layer for one.

Most of the ladies thought it would be nice in a frame as a picture.

Joan also decided to use her image as a vase & added some paper leaves as well as flowers.

I love the way the leaves, especially the one at the front are appearing out of one of the swirl shapes.

Giving even more appearance of a vase of flowers.

This delightful idea is from Rachel who has cut out her string pull image turned it upside 

down & made it into a dress for her lovely lady stamped image.  

With some glitter around the "hem" it looks really classy.

Beautiful cards ladies & a lot of great imagination.  I am sure that Joanna & Janet who showed this technique are absolutely delighted with the results.

There are a couple more to come - from Joanna - who had made most of her samples into cards.  She will photograph some & send them to me later.

It was a really good evening, everyone was very cheerful & we also had a bit of a laugh.  You cheered me up no end ladies - I went home feeling quite revitalised - thank you.

Bob & I are meeting up with an old friend of his for a late lunch this afternoon.  It is so good to meet up with friends, but when it includes lunch it is not helping my weight.  Still spring & summer are on the way - lighter meals & salads should sort it.  😄  Oh, & some walking as well.

That's me for today.  The second set of last night's photos over next few days.

'Bye for now & what ever you are doing for the weekend - have fun.
