Hello there. It’s a beautiful sunny Sunday here and I’ve been catching a bit of the Olympics coverage, but this card is in homage to another major news item from this week – the devastating wildfire in Jasper, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies. We were there only last month, and it’s dreadful to think that… Read More woodland sympathy
Hello there! I’ve got another one of ClarityCrafts new A5 quote postcards for you today, thanks to our new theme of N for Nature at Alphabet Challenge.

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with masks again today (and not the facial type!) My new ‘city skylines’ masks from Claritystamp arrived last week and I wanted to do some more cards using the ‘riverside landscape reflection’ set as well, so you’ve got a two-for-one offer today on this little blog. Let’s… Read More more masking!
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been playing with Claritystamp’s masks again today – they are fantastic for building scenes. Today’s card uses the ‘deerscape’ mask, along with the mountains from the new ‘riverside landscape & reflection’ set – and only 3 ink colours (I do love a bit of blending!) The three colours are… Read More deerscape
Welcome to my crafty blog. Well I’m now up to January 2014 in my journey back through Claritystamp’s new design club, with this forest of pine trees.
