Secrets of the garden




 Hi bloggers,found time to craft at last.Wow what a great stamp set I purchased it is from the collection of the great Jo Firth Young from PaperArsty.First I stamped the flowers on the canvas board and then coloured them with the Tim Holtz distress markers then used a watercolour brush to soften the colours.What a great time I had playing with the stamps.The wording used was from another set from PaperArtsy designed by Lin Brown .

Day at Snazzys

Hi to you all. This was my birthday present from Mandy. A crafting day at Snazzys. This is what I made and I had a fab day. This is a 12x12 canvas that I painted with acrylic paints and spray inks. Used artist sparkle to give some dimension through a stencil. The paper I used was the new collection of Prima(engraver collection) added a few embellishments to finish off. Hope you like this and leave me comment. This is a fabulous shop in Swindon and Val and Don were the perfect people to be around and craft. Val is full of inspiration and ideas and the samples were amazing. Check out the website and pay a visit to this fab fab shop. Www.snazzysstampingandscrapbooking.co.uk
