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
