The pages ...

I chose a medallion stamp - I have several and rarely use them, so I thought it would be fun to see what others would come up with. Here are my cover and the front of my page - the back of the acetate is glittered:

Rain (Lorraine) used watercolours to paint delicate flowers, and hand-dyed the ric-rac too:
Natasha coloured the panels with distress inks and stitched them together into a patchwork quilt:Buttons (Julie) used hand-painted paper, vellum, some lovely bling and lots of glimmer mist:
Secretme (Jane) cut five layers in green and blue to make a lovely decoupaged piece with a jewel in the centre:Claire used the stamp to make snowflakes with twinkly embossing, and added tiny snowballs:
Snipper (Eleanor) made me a little version of Monet's kitchen - the UTEE'd tile looks exactly like a real vintage ceramic tile:ScrappingSal (Sally) used Summer colours and Twinkling H2Os, and added a pearl centre - another completely different look:
Jo.bee (Jo) took inspiration from one of her first crafting hobbies and stitched the image in blackwork, complete with needle and thread - cross-stich and blackwork were amongst my first introductions to crafting too:
Finally NettyB (Jeanette) made a little front door with a stained glass window and metal doorknob:So all I need to do now is bind my CJ - I know I have some large Bind-it-all wires somewhere but not sure where that somewhere is at the moment.

Thank you all so much for your entries - all so different but having the stamp in common, and all providing great inspiration. I look forward to meeting you all in another CJ sometime x

    What a wonderful collection of pages from your stamp, thank you for showing us. This has been the most inspirational Cj I've ever been in (and that's more than a few, lol). Love to meet you in another circle some time.
