Happy Friday! Last week was a busy week... I was Guest Artist at the Craft & Quilt Fair in Sydney, so that kept me busy and my hands inky all week! It was so much fun to demo stamping techniques to the show attendees. We also ran some make and takes, where participants got to use various stamps (Background Stamps, Word Blocks, Photo Stamps, stamps in tins...) along with Distress Inks, Viva Decor Precious Metal Colour paints, Distress Stains and many other tools and supplies.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see what I was up to. It was great to chat to so many people and share ideas about rubber stamping! Here's a couple of photos of different things I was demoing during the show...
Creating backgrounds with the new Distress Stains and stamping over the top with Word Block Stamps. Backgrounds created just by sponging the Distress Inks looks great too:
These Word Block stamps are so fabulous! They look great with the crayon resist technique too!
Colouring with Marvy Le Plumes... bringing these cupcakes to life:
Look how shimmery the Precious Metal Colour looks on this tag below:
I showed a few different techniques with the Precious Metal Colour, but haven't got any other photos to show you unfortunately. They were a real hit though - everyone loved seeing them in action!
Thanks again to everyone who stopped by the booth, and a big thanks to Fiona Carter who came in to help out with some of the make and takes! Here's a quick pic of us together:
I'll be doing the same at the Melbourne and Canberra Craft & Quilt shows, so if you're in those areas, I'd love to see you at the show! For dates and details, check out the events page.
Stay inky,
Rachel
