Rubber Stamping - North Wales

Good afternoon here I am again with the second batch of photos from the workshop. & Maureen also showed 2 of her background pieces that we were shown how to make. It was Kraft card, gesso, paint & different objects to make the patterns - such as lids, folded card. Some ladies used pen tops, paint brush ends etc. Joanna pinched my box as well for a photo. I had a second email from Joanna with a couple of photos where she had been having a play with some software - so I thought you would like to see those too.  I think I will print these off & put in a album as a keepsake; They are really good Joanna.  Thank you. That is me for today ladies.  I have a couple of recently made cards to show you tomorrow. Oh! before I go - if any of the ladies on the workshop could take photo's of their master board & background pieces it would be good to see them. Also...

I was going to say "in the morning we made" - but in fact it took us up to lunch time.  The special project that Elizabeth brought for us was a wooden tissue box holder for us to decorate with stamps & paints.  Yes paints!  Although when I checked my typing I found I had said "stamps & pints" - got that corrected quickly as I didn't want those who didn't come to the workshop to get the wrong idea. In the afternoon session Elizabeth introduced us to creating a master board & different ways of making backgrounds for cards or scrapbook pages or art books or whatever area of the craft you had a pa...

I have heard back from Elizabeth about brushes  (see yesterdays post). Bring a couple ..................  normal shape smallish paint brush for painting stamped images plus flat paintbrush - possibly about .5" - 1" I will bring a bag of various paintbrushes I have as well. It would be a good idea to also bring your basic kit.  I will try & send an email or text to everyone attending, about this.   Or, of course - I may see you tomorrow at the festival. Tomorrow -  more photos from the CSNW club meeting. 'Bye
