Welcome to my blog!

From x stitch I moved into card making - now I am playing around with mixed media! I am taking part in different workshops and with help from crafty pals, learning about different mediums and techniques. Hope you feel inspired to create after a visit to my blog - Happy Crafting!

Shabby chic..or just shabby??

IMG_2486b

This butterfly is from the SU! breast cancer set, stamped in Tim Holtz dusty concord and the swirls are stamped with milled lavender with a Debbie Moore 'swirl' set. I do love the way these inks raise slightly!

This sketch was set by the lovely Lauren on craftbubble, in the CMLI group. There is a new sketch every Saturday so I am a teeny bit late!( The new one is out today). The theme of course is shabby chic , I'm not sure if I have done it justice! I do like the butterfly and the swirls though Smile The beads are actually purple but they look red/black in the picture.

My Mums Craft Shop - swirls and pearls
