just playing...

 Sunday was the regular get-together craft afternoon at Wacton, and we all had a lovely afternoon playing with Tonic dies and Hobby Art stamps.

Being my usual awkward self I raided the stamp box and proceeded to get very inky - it is a good idea not to accidentally put your hand onto a koh-i-nor watercolour palette you have just used, the bright blue paint took forever to scrub off!


The first two used the garden wonder set of stamps and also the dragonfly, both designed by Janie Burnett-Bleach.  Distress oxide backgrounds, images watercoloured with clear glitter for the small dragonfly and  blue, green and purple glitters for the large one. The frog and snail were both stamped again onto spare card, coloured and cut out and glued in place.











This last card is the one i was supposed to have been doing all along.
 I liked the Tonic corner die but not the diecut flowers and butterflies the others used, so I added stamps instead, another Hobby Art set featuring bees. It did mean there wasn't such a queue for the die cutter!
