Mold II photos - part 1

Good evening everyone - here I am with the first set of photos from last night's meeting of the Mold II club.  The photos are of their Show & Tell where the theme was a colour one - black, dark grey & light grey with some white or neutral allowed;



a delightful die-cut card & the back had "congratulations" on it - also die-cut & I forgot to turn it over & take a photograph.


after making the die-cut card Elizabeth then made a stamped card - a really clever layered design.


Lin made this beautiful aperture front - using a label die.
The other interesting thing was the card was cut from one side of an A3 card & the fold is to the 
left-hand side.


Rita made this encaustic wax version
& also


this one using a gelli-plate.  She said it was during a playtime with her grandchildren.


then a third one from Rita where the background has been created by scribbling with pencil - very effective.


This lovely owl was made by Annette who is very much into ATC's - so added this one to her card.


Carolyn took some inspiration from watching Wendy of Card-io using the silhouette style with her particular style of stamps, & the little trees were just the tops of some larger Clarity tree stamps.


Another labels die card this time to shape the complete card - great idea Elma.
It was you who made this one wasn't it? It's always nice to see a different shaped card.


Betty used the whitewash technique for her card that we had covered in a previous meeting - it is very effective - the colour isn't always needed is it.


Carol brought in this delightful basket she had been shown how to make & as it was in the colours it became part of the show & tell.  Carol also brought along the template for the ladies to copy.

Don't forget ladies if you make one bring it along to the next meeting in November.  Carol's suggestion was - "with sweets".

Now! as you can see I have tried to name the maker of each card - the only one I had a little trouble with was the one with the car - but I am sure it was made by Elma.  In one or two quiet moments on holiday (mainly whilst I was on a one of the train journeys) I was thinking about the blog & how best to use it - one way was to get more of your personal work on it instead of just the show & tell photos & the project photos.  The other was to make the write up on your cards from the meetings a little more personal.  So last night was my first test of remembering who made what.  I hope you think it is a nicer way to describe them. The first idea has also worked because you sent me work to use whilst I was away - but please remember this blog is for you & your work - so at anytime - please send in your photos.  I will intersperse them with all the other things.

Tomorrow I will have the photos of the project to show you - let's see how good my memory is for those & who they were made by.
