A Couple of Cards

 Tricia made a couple of cards:

Lots of die cutting

A coloured digi-stamp from Phindy with an inky stencilled background and a traditionally stamped sentiment

Inky Blending and Masking

 Last year, we did a session on inky blending, and the group wanted to do a similar session this term. We used Distress Inks for backgrounds, stencils for texture, stamps stamped with Versafine Clair ink for focal points. Stencils are from Clarity, Creative Expressions, Crafter's Companion, and Lavinia and stamps from Lavinia, Inkylicious, Woodware, and Spellbinders. Masks were die cut or torn copy paper.

Our next session will be led by Adrienne and we're going to start some decoupage projects. I hope I can post the results in a few weeks.

Shilpa shared her first knitted cat.

Nadi's Craft Projects

 Nadi made a Christmas hat for a competition and a card for a family member. Aren't they fabulous?

Tissue Paper Flowers

 Due to the worsening situation with regards to Covid, we have decided to revert to Skype meetings for the time being. To try to make our Skype get togethers a bit more interesting, we're going to try to suggest projects we can all do during and after the call. This is harder than doing things during a face-to-face meeting, as it's hard to see the screen detail during a call, and we can't easily share equipment and supplies. So, the first project was to try to make tissue paper flowers.

These can be made with or without a stem depending on the intended use, and are surprisingly effective as you will see from the photos!

Adrienne used her flowers to decorate a gift bag.

Inky Greetings Cards

 Our meeting at the start of December was all about making greetings cards using ink, stencils and stamps. I know my fingers were inky at the end of the session, and I suspect I wasn't the only one!
