So here are my samples this month, products listed below the photos.

My calendar pages were masked top and bottom with low-tack tape, I then smeared white chalk paint randomly across the bottom two pages using a wet wipe, once dry I used a stencil to create my moons then masked the moon and coloured using dye based inks, my first calendar I used a witch stencil from Sweet Poppy Stencils which was designed by Tracey Dutton, I used a black ink but very lightly, I just wanted it to be like a shadow.

Well that’s quite a list hahaha!

I honestly love all colours, it’s very hard to choose favourites, but I guess my all time go to colour if really pushed I’d say “Blues” 

My first card is the “Caught in Crystal” technique! 



Here I’ve used a multi media card-stock and Distress Oxide re-inkers with water to create my background and the same colours to intensify the eyebrow, I used a white pen to whiten the eye, I used a teal sparkle embossing powder for the flourish in the background and Claire ink for the script.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit, I hope you like my creations.

Christmas by Sweet Poppy Stencils

Good morning Lovelies! 

Well, long time since I’ve blogged! I hope you’re all well and enjoying the summer, I know it’s too hot for some but it was a long miserable winter.

Anyhow, I went to Eileen Godwin’s workshop earlier this month, I hadn’t been for 16 months due to having my 2 Foster babies who have now moved to their new forever family. 

I’m still grieving their loss, been 6 weeks now. My 6th adoption and it never gets any easier, but it’s what I do and I love my job, apart from the last bit.

So these were what I made at the workshop, using the gorgeous Sweet Poppy Stencils and New Stamps, plus Inks, Gesso, Translucent Paste and other pastes, plus the fabulous new Tag die, my last 3 projects I’ve actually made into tag cards, the largest is quite large which is fab.

I have listed and linked the Stencils at the bottom. I had to finish my projects at home last night as I was on holiday.

Phew! That was a lot of linking, thank you so much for visiting today, I hope you like my projects, had a lovely time creating them.
Have a wonderful day xx Zoe xx
