TGIF‘s new theme is exactly that, and I’ve just got time to get this card entered into Inkspirational‘s ‘favourite monochrome’ challenge as well.

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.

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

Hello there. Well it’s Sunday once again, so I’ve dipped back into Claritystamp’s craft club – this week it’s August 2020 with the ‘let’s dance’ stamp. Now this is another one that I’ve struggled to use in the past. I decided to go with a kid’s birthday card using the layout from Freshly Made Sketches… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – let’s dance
