I am so fortunate to have been asked to stay on the Thats Crafty Design Team for another 6 months - I am very grateful for this opportunity - Tomorrows show is Rich Crafts - here are some of my samples

My Steampunk Dolphin, made from an MDF shape from Tando!

As part of the That's Crafty DT team, we often get sent products to use in our samples, the products from Daily Arts were exceptional as usual. I was sent an MDF clock and given free reign to decorate, so out came the paints, stencils, sprays and stones from Daily arts and a selection of stamps - I hope you like them x

I've been super lucky this year and have been asked to be on the Craft Stamper Magazine Design team - so thrilled and excited to be part of this magazine I have loved for so long - here are some samples for the last 2 months blog competition.

I'm thrilled to be on the That's Crafty design team and have made a number of samples for show this month and last month.

The lockdown has been a great opportunity to create, although I am still working from home, which gives me plenty to concentrate on. Hope you like these samples using 13@rts papers, and mediums.

Loving the new stamps by Katzlekraft - I like things a little bit dark and twisty. For this card, I sprayed distress inks on the background along the top of the card and rested it against a glass to allow the inks to drip - when dry I stencilled with matching distress oxides and stamped with black archival ink over the top - I stamped and fussy cut the stamps and added the sentiments.x

I then decided to do some jounralling and used a technique I leaned at a Tracy Scott class for the background and used some Graphic 45 Safari papers - fussy cut for the animal elements.....

More Katzlekraft stamps for my next journal page using a combination of both techniques above - more fussy cutting!!...

Back to work this week, so hopefully some more time to craft at the weekend.

The second card is a window card made with Stamps from Sheena Douglass and Danny Mackintosh (That Craft Place)

The third card is a 3D mermaid card made with Lawn Fawn stamps and Katy Sue designs tail mould - I really loved making all of these cards! Hope you like them too.

So thrilled to be able to say that I came second in the National Card Maker of the Year 2019 with the following cards

The first card is a folded Christmas card with multiple flaps, holding a gift card in the final panel....

Thrilled to have been asked to make more samples for the Peerless Design Team - lovely stencils, Mandalas and House/street. I hope you like them. x

February 2019

This was going to be a month of mixed media pieces, but I got carried away with skulls again!

And of course. a cheeky robot!
