WOYWW #774

It is Wednesday so I am linking to the Stamping Ground

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #774

Here's my desk today - you can see the cardboard page that is mentioned in a blog here.

There is also a blue journal page on the desk easel - lots of stencilling, stamping and splatters.

Can you believe it is already April? Before March ended I added another blob from my palette to that calendar page, my April page is a turtle(?) using one of those bubble backgrounds.

This was another of my Easter makes:

Hope you had a good Easter - ours was quiet as all our kids were away - but we had quite a few hot cross buns!

I will try hard to get around to you all this week -

Happy WOYWW!

Addicted to Stamps and More #465 die cuts/stencils

This is my Die cut/Stencil project...for Challenge #465 at Addicted to Stamps and More

I have used a Gelli pull on a green card blank.

After trimming this to size I added distress ink around the edge.

I stencilled over this page before die cutting it. I used other cards from my stash to die cut the other layers.

The die set is Sissix Spring Layered Scene 665092.

Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team-mates!

Happy Crafting!

Scrapbookingncraft #10

I was delighted when Mel asked me to join her Design Team. I have enjoyed using stencils, chipboards and serviettes from Scrapbookingncraft for some years now...

Find our Design Team makes on Facebook HERE

I hope you all had a happy Easter - you may have noticed my Easter page earlier using

a Gelli pull plus a napkin from my stash and some chipboards. I added extra colour with acrylics and ink.

For my first March make I continued my pages using upcycled cardboard. The pages are about 16 by 20 cm or 6.25 by 8 in.

Today's 'page' uses Black Cardstock Girl with Wild Hair glued onto a piece od cardstock coloured using my Gelli plate and with black acrylic around the edges.

I then got out a black Posca and did some doodling...

12 Months of Christmas Challenge #109 Christmas Candy

This is my DT make for the April Challenge

of The 12 Months of Christmas Link up...

This month the theme is "Christmas Candy"

Our sponsor is

Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

This post originally went out in February - hence the heart theme, as many of my makes in February reflect that it is Valentine's Month. Unfortunately our esteemed Leader Lisa has been really ill with a succession of severe viruses so 12MOC hit a hiatus.

Hopefully we are back now...

Today I have made a simple card using

My printer/photographs made it look much bluer...

I used a white card blank and matted it with a layer of the paper.

I then die cut a piece of card with hearts and added the outside and the hearts as shown.

I then added faux stitching with a fineliner.

I used a sentiment from Imagine that DigiStamps (no longer trading) to finish.

Happy Crafting!
