Countryside Visit

Hello, Sorry I am so late with today's post but I've had a terrible day feeling very stiff and aching from head to toe, not a good sign I'm sure but nonetheless I have managed to get two cards finished for class and only just as everything seemed to be against me and almost everything went wrong so I Will ask in advance please forgive the rubbish photos as they do not give justice to the finished article's  not by a long shot lol!
I have used three stamps from Woodware and they made me think of walking through the woods in the countryside quite cute but not too much, hope you agree !
I used Distress inks....
Rusty Hinge
Pumice Stone
Aged Mahogany
Black Soot
Candid Apple.... any red will work

Black Versafine
Clear Powder
Blending tools
Fine round Paint Brush
Izink's Silver Metallic ink
Glitter Paste
Enchanted Forest Stencil
Crystal Glitter Glue
White Gel Pen
Clear Sparkle Pen

Dandelions and Butterfly dies are from Crafters Companion

 Not sure you can see it but the white of the fox has Clear Sparkle Pen over it

All the images have been painted with the inks

By the way I forgot to mention this coming Saturday we have a demo at Crafty Knits in Chorley so come join us, lots of new goodies, Sara's Enchanted Forest collection along with her Sew Lovely Range and Sheena's new Mixed Media Tag Dies and Stamps. A good time to be had for all............

Pretty in Pastels ***** for Christmas ❄

Hi everyone! Hope you're well and for those of us who have not, hope you feel better very soon. This week is a Christmas week for us in class and I have had a nice time using a new range of paper pad and toppers from Paper Boutique in such lovely pastel shades of pinks and blues. They have produced very pretty Christmas Cards, well! I think so! and I'm sure you will think so too........

Blooming Lilies and a Scalloped Tag

Hey! That time again our class is due and I am here to tell you what we have in store.
I have to say that I'm loving the new Sheen's Perfect Partners large floral stamps and of course her New Mixed Media Tag Dies so I thought I'd give them a whirl and that's what you will be using for this week.
These flowers and tags are so useful for lots of different occasions and they certainly make a statement............... I used,
Clear Ink pad
Gold Embossing Powder
Quickie Glue Pen
Glamour Dust
Silver Glitter Kiss
Versafine Smokey Grey
And various ink pads to paint  the flowers with.
Haven't managed to take any photos yet so I will do my best to pop them on later.
See you soon x
