In The Pink: A Tag

 The current prompt over on Tag Tuesday is In the Pink.  I thought this one qualified.

I started by adding a blending mat copy paper mop up sheet to a #8 manilla tag. 

I then blended Blaze ink through the Garden Heart stencil, moving the stencil around until the whole of the tag was covered.

Next, I stamped the heart in Terracotta and the verse which comes with it in Dark Garnet Artistry ink. 

The heart background was painted in Blaze ink and a water brush.  I picked out the birds from the stencilled background, drawing around them with a fine liner and painted them in same way.

I love how the stencil complements the stamp set.

Sharp and Blurred Photo

As these stamps are based on photographs, I decided to create a blurred image effect using rainbow colours to go with the crisper image.

February ATC: Calm/Blue

I am really enjoying participating in the monthly swaps on the Clarity Crafts Mini Makes & ATCs Facebook page.  This is what I made for my swap partner in February - the prompts were blue and calm.

Designer Deer

I thought the deer photo stamp from Timestamp Creations would look good against a backdrop of Clarity designer card.

Birthday Postcards

There are some fabulous postcards that have images from the first Timestamp Creations collection.  They are printed by Clarity Crafts using images by Janice Phillips.

Timestamp Creations Notelets

I love the new stamps from Timestamp Creations made by Clarity Crafts from Janice Phillips' photographs.  I was lucky enough to be sent a couple of the sets and the alphabet to play with but will be buying more.  Here are a pair of mini makes using some of the smaller images.

WOYWW 818/38: Felting Ahead

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

And so February arrives, and with it my latest goodies from Clarity.  I have made samples with other stamps and stencils in this collection, but they were split into smaller bundles for shows and I couldn't resist buying the ones I don't have.

My #dailyart2025 drawings have been mainly cartoonlike and whimsical for the last week.

I am looking forward to my needle felting class with Tilly Tea Dance on Saturday.  I am going with a former school friend this time and we will be creating a toadstool picture. That seems to link in well with what BJ and Angela (Felix the Crafty Cat) have been up to recently too. I am also looking forward to catching up with Jo (Twiglet).

Meeting after school this evening as usual, so will catch up with everyone in the morning if I don't visit before I leave for work.  Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.
