Good evening Lovelies! Well what a beautiful day it was earlier.
I haven't entered any blog challenge's for a while now and I noticed the Countryview Crafts challenge when I visited a fellow crafty friend on Facebook Doreen's blog this morning, I visit Doreen's blog regularly, I love her style, a very talented lady.
So here's what I made for the Anything Goes challenge.
I adore Jofy stamps and masks, here I've combined 2 of the new sets, just love the honeycomb and buzzers! I started by Spritzing Goosebumps onto my tag, once dried I inked with squeezed lemonade DI, I used a Penny Black mask with scattered straw DI.
Thank you for visiting today, have a good evening xx Zoe xx
Good afternoon Lovelies. What a yucky day, cold, windy, dull and drizzly. Yay! Finally baby is better, I've had some new crafty stash, I say "some" quite a lot really! Lol been treating myself :D so I've managed a nice bit of playtime yesterday and today, a couple of things aren't dry or finished yet, I'll blog those tomorrow hopefully?
My first card was inspired by a fab tutorial by a very talented lady Jill Foster who's on the Penny Black blog
I adore Penny Black products, this technique was Watercolouring with a stencil, I'm happy with how it turned out considering it was my first attempt, I can see myself using this technique many times, I was quite excited as the lady herself commented on my photo I'd posted on their fb page :D
Jofy, Jofy, Jofy.
Thank you for taking the time to visit today, I hope you like my designs, have a great weekend xx Zoe xx
Good afternoon Lovelies! Mixed day weather wise today, bit dull and had rain earlier, still I can't go anywhere as baby has been poorly with a Chest Infection, bless him, he's on the mend though! Thank you so much for all your well wishes for him, in previous posts xx
So, I say Eileen Godwins making me spend money - "AGAIN" lol this time it's these gorgeous stamps by a lovely lady Sarn she calls them Sarntangle stamps and they are fab, very different and quite whimsical, they are limited, take a look here
Here's my first make with Sarns stamps, I think they are so cute, I used Goosebumps in the background and acrylic paint through a script stencil randomly the bees are Jofy and the leaves are die cuts.
Penny Black stamp used for this one with Goosebumps background.
Circle stamps by Oak a House Studio and a die cut to create this tag, it's for my Daughters gift, her birthday is next week.
And here's my Daughters birthday card, I used Jofy Stamps.
Good morning Lovelies, and what a beauty it is today, sunny, bright and clear, shame I can't go out :( Baby is still poorly, he now has a chest infection bless him, such a brave little soldier, he's such a happy baby and still manages to smile even though he's not well.
Anyway I've managed a little crafting while he's been sleeping and here's the results:
I made this 7x7 canvas using of course Sweet Poppy Stencils, even the edges and background, I used Adirondack inks and the gorgeous Rocking Horse which is now available here I used a blue Sparkle medium, this beautiful creature was designed by the very talented Emma Cronin you can find her on Facebook,
Thank you for spending the time to visit today, have a wonderful day xx Zoe xx
Good Evening Lovelies, I hope your enjoying your weekend so far? It's been a pleasant day weather wise here, unfortunately the baby has been quite poorly this week with a nasty cough and cold with conjunctivitis thrown in for good measure, poor little chap, it's horrid seeing babies poorly, although he's still managed to smile between sleeps, I can't believe he's 4 months old already, the time flies.
Anyway I've managed a little play today, I've made a canvas with brushos and Sweet Poppy.
And a tag which was inspired by the very talented Eileen Godwin Using Oak House Studio stamps.
Thank you for visiting today, have a great rest of the weekend xx Zoe xx
Good evening Lovelies! As I said yesterday about my new stash, I've had another little play today, bubba is poorly, and is rather sleepy which has given me the opportunity.
My first is for a lovely friend of mine, her birthday is today so sadly it will be late :(
I used Goosebumps on white card, then using the "Wrinkle free distressing" technique with Picked Raspberry and Cracked Pistachio distress stains, two layers! Then a light spritz of antique gold spray, I used a Penny Black mask with distress inks, then the gorgeous butterfly from Stampers anon, heat embossed in gold and coloured with the same stains, I distressed the edges and used gold gilding wax.
Brusho's in Sandstone sprinkled onto card then lightly spritzed with water, Penny a Black mask with DI and the fab Jofy stamps.
Thank you so much for dropping by, have a great evening xx Zoe xx
