Be Still..

Hello!
I've combined a bit of doodling with a bit of stencilling today for my ASOI DT project...and I've done a full step by step so you can see the process!
A teeny peek...

The whole thing is now live over on the creative team blog HERE...
Have a great day, hopefully it's not as wet and chilly as it is in Blackpool where you are!

My turn today over on the WOW blog....and I've been using loads of different embossing powders all over the place in this piece....

Well of course it's just a little peek, you'll need to hop on over to the WOW blog HERE to see the whole thing!
The theme this month is 'Antique' , so I've left my comfort zone and taken the path of all things vintage! I hope you like it!

Freedom!

Hello!
I want to share a little peek today...this is part of my DT post over at A Sprinkle Of Imagination..

The whole thing is now live over on the blog HERE....
It's a bright sunny day here in Blackpool....so I'm hiding indoors! It's one of those " sun is out, pollen goes bonkers, allergies go through the roof" type days! Still, my studio is nice and cool, and more important, allergy free, so a good day should be had by all!

Potato Wonderland!

Hello!
The current Craft Stamper Blog Challenge is all about the potato..... specifically, carving a potato into a stamp! It's great fun, and not as easy as you may think!
My project for the challenge is this....

As you can see, I used cookie cutters on my potato to form the circle shapes. The dotty one wasn't that successful though! It just looked a bit blobby once the paint went on!
A better look at the painty panel....

I also used the cutters to add a line print around my potato stamping! The circles match up exactly, and I like the effect!

The background is a quick and simple smeared paint affair, red, yellow and blue paint combining with white to give lots of different shades....

As well as a little stamped detail around the edge, I used stamping for my main image too. This is a Stampers Anonymous stamp, love this image...

The word is done with my new favourite stash item...teeny tiny alphabet stickers! From Kaisercraft, they are a *touch* fiddly to use (!!), but I love the extra detail the individual letters give!
All the information you need about the challenge can be found HERE...
It's such a fab technique, you really need to have a go!
