Butterfly Thank You Card

I created a soft background using the May 2023 Clarity Club stencil with butterflies as a focal point for this thank you card.

Four Seasons Greetings

I decided to create four different seasons using just one stamp - the November 2022 Clarity Crafts New Design Club offering.

Three Season Scene

I used the lovely scene stamp which was a club stamp from Clarity to create this three season card for a friend just by colouring the images differently.

Watercoloured Thank You Card

I love the effect of stamping in a light coloured Distress Oxide then watercolouring over the top of the image.  I made this thank you card using the June 2021 Clarity New Design Club stamp offering.

Floral Birthday Card

I am still determined to use all my Clarity club items this year as they arrive.  For this birthday card I used the March 2021 stamp offering.

Pretty Poppet in a Frame

 
I made a birthday card using one of the Pergamano Flower Poppet stamps in a pretty designer paper frame.

Funky Fibre Paste Journal Page

I hadn't created a journal page in my square journal for nearly a year, nor used my fibre paste.  I decided to combine both with a stencil I hadn't used since receiving it as my Clarity club offering in August 2019.  Combined with never before used ink sprays and Washi tape a really great use of NBUs (never before used).

Quarantine Quickies #81 & #82: Made to Measure / Doggy Bag

I am still having a lot of fun finishing the Quarantine Quickie tags following Mike's prompts over on Mission Inspiration.  I shall be stopping at #100 although the prompts are continuing.  The first tag this time was inspired by a YouTube video by Maria Moorhouse.

Deckchairs All in a Row: A Summer Card

I felt honoured that Barbara Gray chose this sample that I made, to use as one of her demos, when these In the Garden stamps by Linda Williams were introduced.  In case you missed it, here's the step by step.

A Rainbow of Corsets

Having the masks to go with this stamp set makes a card like this easy to make.

WOYWW 574: Back to School we Go

Welcome to the weekly desk share with WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday) and my weekly shout out to Y7 and Y8 who are mostly not yet back in school.

I was in school on Monday and yesterday and will be in again today, so there is not much crafting going on. I have been trying to relax before work by making swatches for my latest bargain, the full set of 120 Albrecht Duerer watercolour pencils from Faber-Castell.  Craft Stash had a one day 30% off code if you spent more than £40 and as the full set of Polychromos were out of stock I went with these instead, as they were also on my wish list.

Some of you will have already seen the other new crafty arrival on my desk this week.  I can't wait to get reports out of the way so I can have a proper play.  I will be pre ordering the new June Distress colour from Art from the Heart as well.

This memory also popped up on my FB time line this week.  A happy reminder of last year's crop but a sad reminder that we should have been meeting up again next Saturday. Sorry I will have little time for visiting desks today, as I have been rather tired on arrival back home from school.  I will try and visit you all via Julia's Stamping Ground between samples tomorrow.  Stay safe and happy WOYWW.
