Between the sheets: Meeting: Part 2

The Angelina Fibres were up next. These are soft, light, very iridescent fibres that fuse to themselves to create a material (or at least in the case of the bondable type). You can use them with or without stamps, but for our purposes, we used the stamps.

Instructions

-take a small amt. of Angelina fibres & place them upon a pre-inked stamp
-place a single layer of parchment on top of the stamp & fibre & apply iron
-we used a dry iron at med. heat
-apply med. pressure for a few secs. or until the stamp image starts to show through the parchment
-peel off the fibre from the stamp

Conclusions

-a wonderfully unique fibre that has great iridescent features
-takes on a different look depending on the background that it's placed on
-choose uncomplicated stamps for the best results
-use dark or bright inks on light fibres, metallics on dark fibres
-can use ink or no ink with the stamp method to achieve different results

The meeting was extremely good. We had a lot of fun (too much, according to my hubby who found it incredibly odd to watch 4 grown women drooling over a coloured blob that resembled a fur ball, lol). We laughed, chatted, & shared 3 different chocolate treats along with lots of coffee (don't worry, it was decaffeinated).

We also exchanged our ATC's (which I will post pics. of later), & had a great "Show & Share". I am so proud of this group & the very talented women that belong to it.

Peace out, Boop
