Hello!
Welcome to our Winners Profile, showcasing the Design Winner of our last
Blog Challenge!
The very talented Design Winner of our January 2018 challenge is:
Cathy Roffey
Cathy won the challenge with this stunning ATC. We loved that stunning
crackle! The gorgeous background is topped off with that wonderful blue
butterfly image, we were stunned this is the first ever ATC that Cathy had
made!
We asked Cathy a few questions all about stamping (well, we are Craft
Stamper after all!)
Q: How
long have you been a stamper, and how did you get started?
A: I started
stamping in the early 1990’s when my boys were young. I went to a stamp party
with my sister and we were hooked! (I thought I’d save money by making my own
cards!)
Q: What are your favourite
kinds of stamps, and do you have a favourite stamp company?
A: I love
butterfly stamps and have lots of them! They will all get used one day,
although collecting them has become a bit of an obsession. No favourite
company, I love them all!
Q: Describe
your style, are you a messy kind of stamper or a more ‘clean and simple’ kind
of person?
A: My style is
clean and simple, although I’m dabbling more in mixed media and messy
techniques and using them in CAS cards. Maybe it should be clean and
complicated!
Q:What
kind of projects do you like creating the most?
A: Cards,
although I have played around with paper flowers, that’s a lot of fun too.
Q: Apart
from stamps, what is the one product you wouldn’t be without when you craft?
A: My heat
gun, use it on nearly every card as I love wet embossing.
We
also asked Cathy to show us a couple of her favourite stamped
creations, and share why she likes them so much. Here are the gorgeous
projects she has chosen:
“This card is one of my favourites as I love the sentiment and how
the butterflies look like they’re fluttering!” - Cathy
“I was pleased with this design as the tissue paper and platinum
embossing made a great mixed media moon on such a CAS card” - Cathy
Congratulations on being our January Design Winner Cathy, and it was
