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!

Wings #3
I feel slightly 'meh' about this page but showing it anyway.
I think it's because the stamps are crappy - ah well

One word prompt - Wings
The new one word prompt on our craft group was Wings. Luckily I had been shopping and lunching with a crafty pal and had the perfect new stamp!
I used modelling paste and my zig watercolour pens with a spray of water for the colour wash effect.
The wording reads 'the pretty little birds chirped' - beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all!!

Mandala Stencil
I bought this new stencil recently and was eager to try it out - luckily I also had the Tim Holtz 'snarky' set for a perfect quote.
It reads - Confession: my yoga pants have never been to yoga

Watercolour Face
I joined a free art retreat recently and this was one of the lessons - what I didn't do was draw with my non dominant hand because quite frankly it's dodgy enough with my dominant one. The teacher made it look easy and her face was great considering!
I drew with a stabilo and went over it with a watercolour brush.

Art Journal Balance #3
Stamping over gesso, neocolours then squares of gelli prints added and shaded with stabilo.
When we focus our blessings
It creates an appreciative heart
And adds a strong sense of balance
To our lives

Balance Journal Page #2
Gesso'd page with neocolours and stamping over the top. Bit of doodling with a white paint pen.
Life is about balance
Be kind, but don't let people abuse you
Trust but don't be deceived
Be content but never stop improving yourself

More Circles
Another art journal page
Stencilling, neocolours , some stamping, a lid to create the circles then a mix of paint inside them. Words are Tim Holtz 'snarky' - Forecast for today; unproductive with a chance of a nap.

Art Journalling - Circles
I created circles with dylusions paint and used it again for stencilling. I stamped inkadinkado stamps and paperartsy stamps and used some glass bead glitter gel through a stencil. Finally I chose a quote I liked, printed it and went around it with neo colours crayons and a wet brush.
