Hello there and welcome to my second post today, for the new challenge at As You See It . I do seem to be having a bit of a back & white theme today! I found this theme very difficult as I don’t ‘celebrate’ Halloween – I think there’s enough evil around in the world… Read More moonlight for As You See It challenge
Hello crafty friends. I’m delighted to be back with this card, as guest designer for the new grid over at TicTacToe challenge. I’ve gone with the middle row on this one – orange for my autumn (fall) ginko leaves, and adding pencil colouring as my free option. I took the colour scheme from the current… Read More autumn ginko for TicTacToe challenge

I took the layout from Freshly Made Sketches… Read More doodle dragonflies

Hello there. Well, it’s Sunday again so I’ve gone back into my Caritystamp Craft Club goodies and today am using the ‘keep it simple’ stamp from April 2021. This is such a great image – it works for lots of occasions & I’ve used it quite a few times over the last year. I decided… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – keep it simple
Welcome to my crafty blog and my Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s Craft Club. I’m now up to March 2021, which was the ‘reeds & insects’ stamp set. I started by stamping the reeds onto a small square of card using ‘potting soil’ Archival ink. I added a sun using a small circle mask and… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – reeds & insects
