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!

Tibetan Prayer Flag/Inspirational Bunting


I attended a fabulous workshop run by Debbie Howard and met some other lovely ladies, the sun was shining and it was a great crafty day.






We started off 2 blank sheets and got busy playing with paints and stencils.


After our cake break we cut some pieces out and started scouring magazines for pictures and words.


Once our cards were done they were scanned into a computer and printed out again. We ironed them onto muslim and stitched them onto ribbon.




and we get the cards as well





These really are a great addition to your craft space!




Hope you have something crafty planned this week!

I created another masterboard by using neocolours on waterproof paper then going over them with water, stamping and dripping ink on them






I cut them out, layered them with black and found some kraft cardstock



easy peasy

Hope your weekend is going well

Messing around....

After watching Tam Laporte altering a childrens book I rescued a book that someone gave oh... it's really old so not sure why they did....



I gesso'ed a page and mixed a bit of pink in with it





I had a play around with some neocolours




I guess it's upcycling

Happy Friday!

DLP - Say Cheese

May Theme

Art Challenge:  Cheesecloth
Journal Prompt:  Say Cheese


I didn't have any cheesecloth so went with the idea of using a photograph instead. I found this in a leaflet from an old music book I  bought in a second hand shop. I used the ranger 'sepia' glossy accents over the top for a tint of colour and a shiny surface. 

I found the quote online and thought it was perfect for this image.
