Stamp Camp

We have just had our wonderful City Meets Country Stamp Camp at Quorrobolong in the Hunter Valley. Such a beautiful spot.
Mylene Hillam, www.milllanestudio.com; http://milllanestudio.blogspot.com, was our demonstrator for the weekend.
We played with Friendly Plastic, made a bookmark from a Venetian blind slat as well as a card with corrugated cardboard.
I also made several more Joy Bathie Collages.
We had an interesting visitor on Sunday morning as well!!

Reflections

Silver Tag

7 of the players in the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat decided to make extra tags. This is my silver one. I used silver building tape which I stamped & embossed and then embossed again with my Cuttlebug. I had this lovely dreamy image which I attached and embossed with Black silver Embossing powder. On the back I have printed the words of "Beautiful Dreamer".

Joy Bathie Workshop

Last weekend 12 lucky ladies spent the weekend with Joy Bathie at Lemon Tree Passage.
The workshop was fantastic and Joy was patient & encouraging to all. It is no mean feat running from one person to another, all at different stages of creating and doing it so well! Congratulations Joy and thank you so much.

Amazing Technicolour Dreambook

Almost all the tags are in for this fantastic book. The work has been amazing and I am just itching to put it all together & clinch those Zutter coils in place.
This is my front cover. I thought I had finished it but wasn't happy so I highlighted the stenciled parts with my Gold Krylon pen & am much happier now.

50th Birthday Card

One of my girlfriends had her 50th birthday recently. I made this card for her. The base is a CD painted with Lumieres. I stamped it with Stazon, I then gave it a coat of Jo Sonja's Opal Dust. The figure is a mould from Krafty Lady I used Opals. The Opals often come out a bit dull so I gave it a blast with the heat gun and it has left it with a wet finish...cool.

The Amazing Technicolour Dreambook

I made this tag for the Chunky Books "Amazing Technicolour Dreambook" Just for a change I decided to make my colour red. No one seemed surprised!

Black & White ATC

I made this ATC for a swap I recently hosted.
Good old Charlie!
