Good Saturday Morning Everyone!
Well! I would say we must say a warm welcome to the Spring as it is now official but, it certainly isn't warm and it doesn't feel like Spring at all! I hope that you haven't had too much snow and that you are keeping warm and safe.
Hope your week has gone well. As ever I have been busy here and there but had a great day on Thursday when I was asked to be a guest at an annual Charity event for Marie Curie Cancer Research. I decided to demonstrate decorating a box and then gave it away as a raffle prize. I really enjoyed the day and was extremely pleased to be asked along to such a wonderful event.
We have also had 2 great workshops one using the new 3D Embossibilities and yesterday we had an all day workshop using the Wild Rose Studio stamp range - we do love these.
Tracey (aka Craftnut) has set us a very stylish challenge this week entitled .......
Deco Delights
and this is what I have chosen to do
I found this gorgeous stamp in my 'ample' collection whilst I was looking for another one! and I thought this would be great for this week's Challenge. This stunning design is from Hampton Art. I have stamped it with Adirondack Ink and then used a little watered down to paint the image in various places. The Spellbinder that I have used is the Elegant Labels 28, now this is a stunning set really large with so many opportunities. I have simply inked around the frame with Vintage photo distress ink and layered it over the stamped image. The background papers were from my stash and I think they are Graphic 45. The die cute swirls are a Crafts Too die and I think this adds a little extra. Pearls, hat pins and ribbon finish the design off.
Next week I am keeping out of mischief and popping here and there starting with |Inspirations at Preston where I am doing a workshop all day. Thursday, Friday and Saturday I am at Create and Craft taking part in the million pound Easter give away events and demonstrating Spellbinders. Sunday they have asked me to guest 3 shows using Kanban products.
Please pop over to the Allsorts Challenge blog
to have a peep at the other creations that the Challenge Team have put together.
Thankyou as ever for popping by and please leave a comment if you have time.
Enjoy your week ahead and keep safe if it has been snowing around where you are.
Take care,
