Clarity Cumbria

Good afternoon all and thanks for looking in this Sunday. How has your day gone, ? I have been busy making samples ready to get in the post tomorrow for Barbara , as she is back on HOCHANDA TV this Thursday....the fabulous new stamps were waiting for me when I got back from Clarity Cumbria yesterday....and oh...something else new....something that I love .....and so will you...shhhh I can't say anymore....!!!!!

So back to yesterday....it was so good to be back with the ladies and gentleman....and as usual there was quite a lot of banter....and laughter....we used the wonderful new poppy and meadow grass stamps...you know how much I love these.

Our first card involved blending inks...

Look at these fabulous cards....I am so proud of each and every one...

Our second card was a bit of a homage to the very talented Eileen Godwin,,,as I got the inspiration for it from her wonderful blog....where she had done a very informative video on her Master Board technique...( she is such a lovely lady too...)

Check it out here....http://eileenscraftyzone.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/my-take-on-master-board-technique-part_24.html

I do hope that you approve Eileen, we had such fun making them and here are the results

( You know if it is one thing that I have learnt about the craft industry that there are two types of designers...those who credit others and those who don't....thank goodness that I am not the latter....as I do like to sleep at night...)

After lunch we did a bit of spotlighting...

And then after tea and Sheila's cakes...oh and my special chocolate cake,,,,( thanks ladies ) we created a background with Inka Gold paints and water,..these really did sparkle ....

All the stamps are from Claritystamp...and can be found on the website...

One of our lovely ladies Barbara brought this canvas to show us...and it is just stunning...so I had to take a photo and share it with you all..

It is fantastic Barbara...

I am seeing some of the ladies again on Thursday when I am doing a day class at Grosvenor house , papers in Kendal...( .they will be sick of me )

I am off now to walk the dogs , then after some food and a shower...I really need to sit down and put my feet up...

Enjoy your evening all, and thanks for your kind words about my parents,..they are getting there...slowly..

Much love and hugs.

Jo. xxx

    Your class must have had such fun with these, and worked hard. They are all delightful. I especially like the take on Eileen's master board. It's a really lovely design. I was lucky enough to go to Eileen's masterboard workshop and was thrilled with the result I got. Eileen is so inspirational ~ just like you, Jo. I'm pleased that your parents were not too badly injured and hope that they were not too badly shaken by the experience. ..it can often hit a while after. Hope you had a nice relaxing day. Love and hugs, Jeanette xxxx

    Wow super cards from the whole class. I am really into my bright colours at the moment so these are really speaking to me! Ask me again in a few weeks and I will probably be into pastel tones. Glad to hear your parents were OK after their car accident, such a horrid thing to happen. XX
