Andy Skinner week!

Hi Crafty friends, hope you are having a great day today!
Over at the Craft Barn it's Andy Skinner week and I made a couple of cards
Both use Andy's stamp set Winters Tale and I also used Andy's alcohol ink technique on the first, there are many more examples of his great stamps on the Craft Barn Blog.

Here I've stamped onto a chipboard tag and used some Fresco paints, nice surface for stamping!
All week there have been some brilliant samples on the Craft Barn Blog, if you have a minute you might like to check it out:0)
There is free p&p on the Craft Barn website this weekend

This weekend we are offering free postage on all UK orders from 6pm today (Friday) to 8am on Monday.

For our EU customers it's free P&P if you spend over £20 and for the rest of the world it's free P&P if you spend over £30.

AND
We have a brilliant new Calendar challenge!! Check it out, I think it's going to be loads of fun. Just click on the photo in my side bar and you will get all the deets.
I hope you get to enjoy this fab weather today and long may it last :0)

I used Winters tale and the Gothic set by Andy Skinner
Chipboard tag, Woodware
Fresco Paints by Paper Artsy
All the stamps, inks, paints and chipboard that I used are available at the Craft Barn Website

    Fabulous cards Gay - the inking techniques are amazing. Love the tree image too.

    I made a purchase at TCB yesterday, not realising they were having free p&p. They have such a huge range of products, it took me ages to choose, and by the time I went to checkout, the free p&p had just kicked-in - how lucky was that!!
    Have a relaxing Sunday - hugs, Sylvia xxx

    Hi Gay

    More fantastic creations from you.

    I love both very much but the second one has the extra wow factor for me.

    Love the dark background and the script .. .. but the scrummy ribbon on your tag brings everything together beautifully.

    Love the stamps!!!

    Hope you are having a good weekend.

    Love Jules xx
