CCC Challenge 9. Baubles

Hello again, the weeks are flying in, even although we are in Lockdown.. Our Christmas Card Club challenge has been chosen by Kate , and she would love to see Baubles on our cards. the stamp I have chosen for both my cards is an old wood based stamp that I'm sure some of you will recognize. The first card is an 8 X 8 white card matted with gold card. I stamped the image with Versamark and used Wow twinkling lights gold embossing powder, (sorry the picture is not showing it up ). I added a gold bow to compliment the card. My second card I used the same stamp again using Clair nocturne ink. Matted with red mirri card . Hope you are all well and Staying Safe. Our next challenge we will be into May, unbelievable really.  Hugs Rita xxxx

Orange Teasel card

Hello Again.  Yes I'm back again with a card this time. Using the same technique as before and using the Teasel stamp again. The background was made using 3 colours of Distress Oxides , and after adding a good spray of water I smooshed the card in the paints a couple of times. I then mounted it on to a piece of black card and added my teasel piece. I gave it just a quick light brush of the glitter brushes from Craft Artist using gold. The sentiments came along with the Teasel stamp set. Really enjoying mt crafting again and trying new things.  Please Stay Safe my friends.. Hugs Rita xx

My Canvas from Tracy Evan's Workshop

Hello Everyone. Isn't this a beautiful spell of weather at the moment. It certainly helps us All during this Pandemic.
Well, I found time to enjoy an Online workshop held by the talented Tracy Evans. And I loved every bit of it. I learned so many new ideas and had a great time. The Workshops are held over two mornings from 10-12 and we all had fun, meeting new friends and some old ones too.  If you get a chance and would like to join the next one, it is on the 25th and 26th of April and we are making a notebook at this class. I found it ideal for me during some days that were not as good as others. I'm absolutely fine now and have been doing lots of other things as well. Most of you know there is not many things that I have not tried ( I call myself a Dabbler of Crafts ). So Head over to Facebook and find Tracy Evans.  Enough of my ramblings for today then. Off to do some sewing now.  Stay Safe and continue Crafting..  Hugs Rita xx
