Say it with Flowers at Try it on Tuesday

Say it with Flowers is our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday this fortnight, so it's a  first inking for this AALL&Create stamp that I bought  a while ago.  I really must try to find more time for crafting!

Stamped onto white linen card and watercoloured,  some stencilling in the background with Bundled Sage and add a sentiment.  Simple, but the white linen card adds a nice texture.

The rest of the Design Team have some great makes to inspire you, so please pop over to the main blog where you will find all the details.

Thanks for calling in, have a great day.

Mid Month at Stamping Sensations.

 Spring is in the Air is the theme for this months challenge at Stamping Sensations and the Design Team have some great mid month inspirations for you over on the main blog.

I've used an old Elusive Images stamp of Snowdrops,  and for me, as soon as I see the first snowdrop poking through the soil that signifies Spring is on it's way.

I've used an inky background of Twisted Citron and Speckled Egg., stamped the image in Black Versafine, then bleached out the colour on the snowdrop heads, before colouring with Picket Fence Distress crayon.  The image looked a little lost, so I used an acrylic block and drew a black line.

I added the Just a Note from the same set of stamps as this is now a pretty cover on an otherwise plain notebook.

Do check out the inspiration from the rest of the team, you won't be disappointed 

Thanks for calling in, especially as I'm such bad blogger at present, but 3 days Grandma duties doesn't leave much 'free' time.

Have a great day, I'm on 'extra' duties as Laura is on a Training Day, hope to catch up over the weekend.

Black and White + 1 at TioT

Black and White PLUS 1 is our new challenge this fortnight at Try it on Tuesday/

I've used my new Lavinia fairy Bella along with the English Bluebell.  I added colour around the moon mask before adding shading to the moon.  I used the same blue ink to stencil lightly over the  background for some added interest. The sentiment was a magazine freebie.

The Design Team have some great inspiration for you, so please visit the main blog where you will also find all the challenge details.

Thanks for calling in,

Have a great day, Avril xx

Spring Is In The Air at Stamping Sensations

The new challenge at Stamping Sensations is Spring is in the Air, so we would love to see your Springtime stamping and if you need some inspiration, there's a Mood Board on the challenge blog for you. There's also a prize from Bee Crafty for one lucky random winner.

I love Spring flowers and one of my favourites is Freesia, especially the mauve coloured ones.  I stamped my image onto white linen card and used Distress inks to colour and added some light background stencilling in the same colour.
