RRD Blog Hop and Contest

The focus this month for Red Rubber Designs will be "Holidays in Winter".  The Design Team will be working on projects to help prepare you for the busy season that is ahead.

As you know we feature the Spotlight Stamp on our monthly blog hop and show you ways to use it from different perspectives. This evening all eyes are on this timeless stamp "Twinkle in the Eye".


For my project I have tried metal etching. The one thing that I did learn is to use solid copper (which I did not have on hand) rather than copper plate. The end results were a little different than I had expected but I worked with it anyway. Here is my fabric collage winter wall hanging.



I used several different fabrics, coffee dyed canvas and cotton batting.

Here is a closeup so you can see the etching better. 

Along with the blog hop, don't forget that we have a contest for you this month, too. You can win "Twinkle in the Eye" for your holiday crafting by correctly guessing the number of snowflakes that drifted on my workspace.  See the RRD blog for details.

Here is your blog roll so that you can go see what the other gals have created.
