Hello to you all,I am sharing wall tag 26 today.
I first coloured my background with PanPastels  in what I thought were rainbow colours,then stamped my images  with black versafine and clear embossed. The lady with the umbrella and sentiment are from Inkylicious and the raindrops are from Ryn .
I finished off by dry brushing some white fresco paint around the edge and inking it with Black Soot distress ink.xxx

A Wedding Card

Hello to you all, I have a wedding card to share today, I find these type of cards hard for some reason, maybe because I don't make many.... I decided to add a bit of texture with the burlap.

 Well I am off out to the garden to catch up on jobs while we have a nice day.xxx

Bleach Blocking 2

Wow I am not surprised we are so obsessed with the weather here in the UK, in 24 hrs we go from one extreme to the other,yesterday torrential rain and thunderstorms..today glorious sunshine !!!!

Well you definitely need your sunglasses on for my card share today. I have done the Bleach Blocking Technique again,this time with different colours. Must admit it doesn't work so well on the yellow. So darker colours work better.

Wall Tag 25

Hello to you all, I have a bit of a French theme going on for my tag today. My background was made by spritzing a white tag with some Precious Purple  ink from Colour Chemistry,then put some home-made texture paste through the leaf stencil. I then stamped up the Eiffle Tower a few times and cut one out to decoupage. I spraed my ribbon with more ink then edged it all with Black Soot distress inks.xxx

Laugh Every Day

Hello to you all,my share today is for the Craft Stamper Take it Make it challenge and they are asking us to do the Bleach Blocking Technique...Not that it involves bleach at all just removing block of distress ink colour with water. I first inked my card with Evergreen Bough and Faded Jeans distress inks then using a clean sponge soaked in water start removing some of the colour and reveal the blocked pattern.
The Indigo Blu stamps came free with a magazine.xxx

Country View Crafts #16

Hello to you all, I am so excited to tell you that I am now on the Design Team for Country View Crafts

 I am sharing with you today my very first sample.  This month the theme is 
"Only Men Allowed"

I started by sponging a piece of linen card with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink leaving out where the image was going, then inked through a stencil with Antique Linen Distress Ink for the teacup stains.

I then stamped my image with Black Versafine and painted them with Distress inks and went round the edge of my card with Black Soot Distress Ink

I used a die for the Dad, then mounted this onto some craft card.
