Good afternoon

Late post today as been running errands all morning plus chores and the normal day to day stuff...now i can play with crafty things :0)

I've wanted to have a go at this for a while but thought it looked very completed Amanda assured me it wasnt so took the plunge following her tutorial which you can find HERE i had a go!!

And loved the results!! I used the number of years set along with a background stamped from the first sight set in calypso coral ith hints of old olive and pool party.

Number 8 is cut from dazzling diamonds using the large number dies - so much easier than ccutting them out by hand.

Happy crafting

Hello crafters

Todays projects are the lovely watercolour technique cards we made at recent training all using the gorgeous birthday blooms stamp set.

I wasnt sure about the techniques as i am not the greatest colour-er but really pleased with them and just adore the stamp set.

 this one was on the new shimmer card which i have never used before but i like it and just look how sparkly the pool party glitter ribbon is.

This one uses some gorgeous DSP  and look at the glorious shimmer using the wink of stella brush...just gorgoeus.

Last but certainly not least the embossed one watercoloured using the aquabrush and inks

Stunning!!

 Happy crafting

Hi

Today I am showing you the swaps I took to training over the weekend. I decided to make a little envelope using the envelope punch board which held an individually wrapped teabag and a rich tea biscuit as you cant have a cuppa without a bisscuit.

Colour combo of mint macaron, whisper white and very vanilla with a hint of bermuda bay, watermelon wonder and crushed curry.

I used the saleabration stamp set Botanicals for you with gorgeous grunge to decorate the envelope

The little flowers also had a touch of the fab wink of stella brush pen to give a gorgeous subtle shimmer.

Hope they were well recieved and i was given some fantastic swaps in return.

happy crafting

Happy Sunday to you and a snowy one at that here

If you have snow and have to go out please stay safe!

Ive been missing all week almost and just been so busy then had internet issues but hopefully all sorted now so back at it.

Todays offering is a quick and simple gift bag made using the gift bag punch board. I have been making swaps for a team training (i will sho you these later in the week) and using mint macaron so continued to play with it.

I apologise for the bad photos but very difficult getting a decent one with the bad light. I used the flowers from the Number of Years stamp set to stamp a wildflower strip across the bottom and the fantastic sentiment from the SAB set Botanicals for you.

Now to find something to go in it :0)
