Beautiful things

Spent the day crafting today for a bit of much needed relaxation after a very stressful week. My husband John has been quite poorly this week and we have spent two days in A&E although I wont go into that except to say it was a nightmare.

So here's what I have been up to.

This first panel I created as my Facebook Header using a sentiment stamp I got from Bee Crafty. Well actually all the stamps are from Bee Crafty.

This next one is using Visible Image stamps and freehand notes around the edge.

Now the final one is an Indigo Blu stamp with the colouring and background done with DI and a bit of watercolour ghosting.

 I'm hoping that the coming week will be less eventful, fingers crossed

Kind regard

Feel the Beat

I'm back to share a few makes from the last couple of weeks.

It was my Son and DIL's birthdays on 24th so the first two are cards I made for them.

The first one I made for Jonathan using a Visible Image stamp on a background created with distress inks and circles by Rubberdance.

 This next one is Liz's birthday card. I was trying out a technique I had seen on YouTube by Rachel Black, gesso resist.  I love Rachel's videos, she is so talented.

This is my practice piece

Finally the card I have made for Mother's Day. No need to worry Mom's not computer savvy, well she is 92! Spellbinders cut out panel onto glitter card. Clarity letterbox, stamped flowers and stickles.

Well thanks for visiting

Stamping fun

Just one card to share today. 
After watching a few YouTube videos this afternoon I felt the crafting urge and decided to use this lovely girl by Stampotique. The fishnet is a stamp by Visible Image, who by the way are on Create and Craft tomorrow with their new designs. The circles are from a set of stamps by Rubberdance.
I used Distress Inks, Picked Raspberry, Peacock feathers, squeeze lemonade and peeled paint.
I love taking a  stamp and just going with thee flow, especially with these quirky stamps

I always think of my lovely Granddaughter when I use this stamp because she is very much her own person and has gorgeous big eyes.

Hope to be back soon
