Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m feeling happy with today’s card as I’ve used up another of the many inky mop-up backgrounds in my stash without making another one in the process!

Welcome to my crafty blog – it’s still really hot here so I thought it would be good to have a cooling walk through some trees, after sitting in my hot little spare room/office all day!

Welcome to my crafty blog and another lookback into the Claritystamp new design club. This week I’m using the ‘Alice’ stamp from April 2015 – she looks like she’s deep in thought, so I decided to sit her out on a hillside as it’s a Sunday afternoon. I started by stamping her in black Archival… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – Alice #102
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses some more of my favourite blending techniques, plus the Claritystamp landscape masks that are on my regular use list.

Welcome to my crafty blog. Bit of a late post today with my weekly dip into the Claritystamp new design club – this time it’s the agapanthus stamp from March 2015.
