Hello friends and welcome to Sunday’s post! I’ve dipped back to one of my favourites images for today’s card, with Linda’s Poppies stamps – they were the obvious choice when I saw the inspiration photo at Just Us Girls and obviously also fit the ‘blooms’ aspect at Triple B. I started with one of Clarity’s… Read More summer poppies
Good morning everyone! I’ve got a busy day on this little blog, with two more cards to come after this one – and I’ve not made a good start by forgetting to schedule this first one on time for the start of Alphabet Challenge‘s new theme! What’s even worse is that I’m hosting the challenge… Read More E for Embossing at Alphabet Challenge
Hello there! It’s time for our next challenge at As You See It and I got to pick the colours for this one! What do you think of this palette? I used it with the new ‘poppies’ stamp from Linda’s Florals collection by ClarityCrafts, focusing the colours into the background. This is the final one… Read More new colours at As You See It challenge
Hello friends. I’ve got a bit of a look back to the ‘bijou linocut’ stamps from ClarityCrafts that were launched earlier this year. I love this poppies set – in fact all the stamps in the collection are produced from original linocuts by Barbara Gray (she’s so talented!) I’ve picked up a few challenge themes… Read More poppy remember
Welcome to my crafty blog and a sneaky peek at some more goodies from Clarity Crafts that have been resized – Barbara will be launching them on Create & Craft TV tomorrow (Friday) at 9am & 1pm. These are some of Barb’s linocut designs and I thought we’d start with the poppies set. I’ve managed… Read More bijou linocut poppies
Hello there. I needed a card for a friend who’s about to have surgery, and remembered ClarityCrafts’ poppies stencil, which hasn’t seen any ink for some time! The Paper Players have got a clean & simple one-layer challenge this week (right up my street!), which I teamed with the lovely palette from Creative Colour Challenges.… Read More stencilled poppies
Hello crafty friends. I’ve gone for stencilling on today’s card, using sponges and the ‘poppies’ stencil from Clarity Crafts. I picked up the colours from Just Add Ink, and I’ll also share it with Happy Little Stampers for their stencil challenge and Seize the Birthday (although I haven’t used their optional ‘topping’ of halloween colours)… Read More poppy stencil
Welcome to my crafty blog and our next letter at the Alphabet Challenge. We’re on to G and Melanie has challenged us to ‘giggle’ with a humorous card. The ‘senility prayer’ (a bit of a different take on the well known serenity prayer) always makes me smile – this is a stamp from Clarity that… Read More G for giggle
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses a new set of stamps – the poppies that are part of Claritystamp’s linocut collection. I am really getting into using these, after not being so sure about them when they were first launched. Sometimes things just take a while to grow on you. For this card,… Read More linocut poppies
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses several Clarity stamps, including two for the background. I haven’t used these ones much, but got inspired following Barbara Gray’s live demo last Friday evening. I based this card on two current blog challenges – the layout picks up the new sketch at CAS Colours & Sketches… Read More pink poppies
