Hello there! I’m back again with a second post ahead of tonight’s Moment of Clarity with Barbara Gray over on the Clarity Worldwide Facebook page. These ‘loving heart’ stamps are just so pretty and once again I’ve let them speak for themselves in my favourite CAS style. So for this one I started with an… Read More heart of love
Welcome to my crafty blog and another of the floral sprays stamps from ClarityCrafts, this time the ‘ginkgo leaves’. It’s another beautifully detailed image with infill stamps, although this time I went with watercolouring the image. But first, I took half a 5×5 card blank (my new favourite way to make my toppers) and created… Read More ginkgo leaves
Welcome to my crafty blog! I’ve gone for another take on the new geisha stamps from ClarityCrafts, this time pairing it with one of the ‘enso’ stamps. Enso is a sacred symbol from Zen Buddhism; it means ‘circle’ and is traditionally drawn with a single brushstroke as a meditative practice in letting go of the… Read More sunset geisha
Hello there! It’s time for our new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and Rachel’s given us a palette of lovely soft tones. I haven’t played with Clarity‘s ‘butterfly wreath’ A6 set for some time so thought it was due an outing, not least thanks to the inspo list at Festive Friday (I went with… Read More CAS Colours & Sketches 534 – colours
It’s Good Friday today, a day of sombre reflection for Christians as we remember Jesus’ crucifixion, so it seemed appropriate to go with a thoughtful card using our new sketch at As You See It. I’ve gone back to one of the floral panel stamps from ClarityCrafts, pairing it with the palette from Color Hues… Read More always in my thoughts for As You See It

I’ve had a blast and I’ll be back playing along from next month. Our ‘topping’ this time (you can opt for ‘anything goes’) is spring florals and I decided… Read More Seize the Birthday – spring floral
Welcome to my crafty blog and a simple die cut card using up an inky mop-up piece of card from my stash (that always makes me happy!) I reached for one of Clarity‘s fab ‘panoramic aperture quarterette’ dies – these are a quarter of the size of their regular dies (spot the clue in the… Read More keep it simple
Welcome to Monday and another Easter card – this time using the fabulous ‘bunny ears’ stamp which is the latest offering from Clarity‘s Craft Club! I’ve paired them with the grass part of Clarity’s ‘deerscape’ mask, inspired by the palette at Color Throwdown and a slightly loose take on the layout at Freshly Made Sketches… Read More Easter bunny ears
hello there. I’m back on my travels abroad with today’s card, taking another look at the ‘Famous Places’ stamp set from ClarityCrafts and picking up one of my demo’s from Saturday’s shows. I started with a 5×5 card blank that I’d cut in half – this is a good way to get your topper as… Read More Taj Mahal
Well I’m back with a second card today as it’s time for our new challenge at As You See It. The fearsome speed challenge has come round again and it was my turn to choose the theme, so I went with ‘spring flowers’ to give everyone plenty of scope! My mum’s favourite flowers were daffodils,… Read More speedy spring flowers for As You See It
