Christmas Scene in a Holly Leaf

Another blast from the past using the Clarity Outline stamp sets.  This card is a variation on this theme, as it uses one of the Clarity Outline stamps and masks and the teeny weenie stamps which come with them to create the aperture and scene. 

Doodling within an Outline Image: Monochrome Christmas Card

Thanks to a happy accident I went in a different direction with this Christmas card using the Bird and Leaf Outline stamps from Claritystamp.  I kept the colour palette monochrome: black, white and pale grey.  I also enjoyed some relaxing doodling.

Picture in Picture: All Creatures Great and Small

I love working creating pictures within the outline stamps by Claritystamp.  This is a tag that I made for a challenge some time ago.

Toadstool in Mosaic Frame

I had fun coordinating colours with this toadstool themed card in a mosaic stencil frame using stamps and a stencil from Claritystamp.

Bright and Cheerful Christmas Windows

I used simple colours on a designer card background to create this day and night themed Christmas card.

Snowflake Framed Christmas Tree Card

I used the extra snowflake stamps which come with the Clarity Charity Trees stamp set to create a frame and a border for this Christmas card.

WOYWW 648: What a Crafty Week!

 Well I certainly made the most of my crafty time over the last week.  Welcome to my weekly desk share, linking up with WOYWW via Julia's Stamping Ground (well worth a visit).  Where to start...

Same old same old on my desk, but last Thursday I had a visit from Eva on the other side of the desk.

She was working on parchment pieces while I was mooching around.

On Friday I tried my hand at needle felting for the first time at a workshop taught by Tilly Tea Dance.

It was really great to meet her for the first time face to face and also catch up with Twiglet.  I learnt a great deal and may just be hooked lol.

These are just some of the gorgeous samples we had to inspire us as we worked.

Yesterday I drove up to Manchester to meet up with the JJAMMMA crowd for the first time in nearly two years.  I travelled light and only took some colouring with me.

I will catch you up with the latest drawings next week as this post is already so long - the last of the #inktober2021 drawings can be found HERE if you can't wait lol.

No meeting after school this evening but I may stay on and get a set of books marked before I come home - I like to get ahead of myself.  Stay safe and happy WOYWW.
