Hello my crafty friends, Hope you're enjoying the weekend. I've been playing............
I took a chunky canvas, and book page and tore it up to cover the canvas. That page has disappeared under many layers of paints, sprays, dimensional paste, glitter and tissue paper.
Now it looks like this:0). The butterfly's have been stamped onto tissue and painted then added to the canvas. I love how there was no loss of stamping detail. I'm a little obsessed with chunky canvasses lately and love it when I'm able to take the image around the whole of the canvas. So when it's hanging up on the wall I can see some of the design from any angle! That makes me happy LOL!
I do have some
brilliant news to share :0) I have been given a month to play with
Stampotique stamps, how lucky is that??? A whole month as a
Guest Designer , I could hardly believe it when
Kim invited me, Yippee, I was so pleased! My first offering will be on Wednesday next week. Then at the
Challenge blog for the next week. Hope I don't mess up :{
The
Craft Barn Extravaganza was fab yesterday and I hope to be able to go again today. Loads of inspiration and gorgeous crafting. I was really lucky and met up with Giovanna from
Scrap in Progress and Sarn from
Stamping for pleasure, what fun we had :0)
So thank you for joining me today, I hope you have a great week and enjoy some tennis and maybe some strawberries, Gay xxx
