Just a quick post...

Boy where has time gone!! This whole year is just whizzing by and I am running to catch up, I might pass myself going the other way at this rate. This is just a quick post really just to share some of the samples from the last couple of weeks and to say watch out for a major launch of some exciting stuff on 16th August and I will also be demoing it all at The Great British Craft Festival that weekend, so it is head down and sample sample sample. All I can say is it revolves around one of my favourite styles of stamps, that we have made for years but combining it with our other products to make it awesome!! Right back to already dine stuff. The below butterfly card was created just using the beautiful botanical washables, all I did was coloured the butterflies with a distress market, and the used clear embossing powder over the top, hear set it from behind to make it nice and glassy. Then I roughly colour in the flowers again with my distress markers, spritzed them with water so the colours bled, allowed it to dry and the did a light inking with antique linen to take away any remaining whiteness. Die cut, inked and glazed the flower embellishment and we were done! Simple. The second photo is a similar technique just a different paper.

Keep crafting
