A Rainbow In Someone's Cloud

I had another play with a second print taken from the July Clarity Club stencil and used a die that I have been after for ages and found second hand on eBay.

Tina's Floral Sampler Star Book

I went all out with my last sample using these beautiful Floral Sampler stamps and created a star book in rainbow colours using 14 of the stamps.

A Tag to Say Hi!

I thought I would make a tag using the new Tina's Floral Sampler stamps and combine them with the original KISS stamp set.

Tina's Floral Sampler Notelets

I used another couple of backgrounds from the alcohol ink workshop that I did with Barbara Gray back in June together with a couple of the stamps from Tina's Floral Sampler set to create these notelets.

WOYWW 847/67: Fabulous Retreat

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.  

My desk shows some of the stamps I was playing with before I headed off to the Clarity retreat last week.  Barbara will be on HobbyMaker today at 1pm and 4pm showcasing them and you will see my samples over the next few days on my blog.  I  am busy working on more secret stuff so had to stage the desk.

This is the sample that was on yesterday's blog.

This was my desk last Thursday at the start of the second day of the retreat - we were learning all about Acrylic paint and I learnt so much.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.  I had a lovely weekend and family get together and also a great musical afternoon with the u3a recorder group yesterday.  Next Saturday I will be back in Lichfield for a play day with Helen Hooker (well known in the recorder community).  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

Elegant Gift Box

I had a spare die cut cube and thought it would work beautifully with the new Tina's Floral Sampler stamps.  I went with white and gold for an elegant look.

Going Round In Circles?

The current theme over on Try It On Tuesday is Going Round in Circles.  I decided this tag with its circle background would fit the bill really well.

Cover a #8 manilla tag with a piece of shaving foam marble card and trim the excess.

Add stamping using the solid circle stamp from Sam’s Shapes 2 in shades of blue (Cobalt, Sky Blue) and pink (Picked Raspberry, Pink Peony) archival inks.

Over stamp the circles using various stamps from the Don’t be Such a Square stamp set in Onyx Back Versafine ink, heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

Fill the remaining circles in the same manner, but this time use Versamark ink and heat emboss using white embossing powder.

To finish, add a title using the Clarity Tall Letterbox Infill Alphabet and Numbers stamps in Onyx Black Versafine ink.
