Watercolour Bouquet

I created a watercolour effect by stamping the bouquet in Distress Oxide for this card.

WOYWW 883/103: Remembering Neet

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

Most of you will have heard the sad news that our dear friend and WOYWW stalwart Neet passed away in hospital last Wednesday evening.  This week's WOYWW is intended as a tribute to her.

I first met Neet in person at Port Sunlight, although she already felt very familiar from her blog.

We met again at various crops over the years - this one from 2018 when Shaz in Oz came over to visit.

This is one of the more recent crops hosted by Twiglet and Whipso in Shrewsbury.

Sadly, we have also lost other WOYWWers over the years - Bishops Mate and Shazsilverwolf.

We never get much done at these crops but always manage a good natter and catch up.

It was good to see Neet at the last in person crop in 2024 in Stoke on Trent.  I suggest that the ATCs we share for the 17th anniversary next week could be some of Neet's for those who swapped with her in the past.

Stay safe and RIP Neet - you will be sadly missed.

Merry Christmas Gifts

For my second sample using the Tall Art Deco Sentiments and coordinating embedder stencil which are two of Clarity's Products of the Month for May, I made a Christmas card and turned the embedded sentiments into gifts.

Mini Blooms and Stalks

I chopped up one of the Painterly backgrounds from Clarity Crafts to use with one of the new Blooms and Stalks stamp sets for these mini makes.

SHAC Dancer Birthday

I combined one of the Blooms and Stalks stamp sets with the SHAC Dancing Girls to create this character for a birthday card.

#dailyatc2026: April Complete

I have completed my fourth month of this year's challenge to myself - a daily ATC, following the prompts over on 365 days of drawing prompts and other art and using Clarity stamps, stencils and stickers.  Here are my offerings for the second half of April.

Not a Clarity image

I have prepared the backgrounds for my May ATCs.  I went with the same colours as January - Turquoise, Juniper and Cool Peri.

Tall Art Deco Sentiments

Clarity's Products of the Month for May include these Tall Art Deco Sentiment stamps and a coordinating embedding stencil.  Here's the first card that I made with them.
