collage

 It's been a long time since i shared anything, due to family and then personal illness - life is hopefully getting back to something approaching normal now!

it's also been a long time since I made an ATC, and i couldn/t believe how long it took to make this one....partly due to finding where all the craft stuff was!

This was for a collage challenge using Crafty Individuals stamps - I used the teasel in the background and fussycut the mushrooms 

I couldn't just post an ATC, so this was the card it went with - you can see more of the teasel stamp and the whole of the mushrooms stamp on a piece of brusho card, and very faintly in the background a meadow grasses stamp. The wonky word was handdrawn

measured moments

 Had to have a quick play with this lovely new set from Chocolate Baroque which arrived this week. 

Brusho background overstamped and stencilled with distress oxides, image stamped with versafine clair and coloured with ZIG clean colour pens

january fairy

 The end of 2023 was pretty hectic, so blogging wne by the wayside - what passes for normal blogging is back now!

My offering today featrues new-to-me fairy tale stamps from Chocolate Baroque https://www.chocolatebaroque.com/january-fairy-unmounted-rubber-stamp-sheet-dl.html and https://www.chocolatebaroque.com/magical-landscapes-unmounted-rubber-stamp-sheet-a5.html plus the leaf stamp from an older set which I think may be discontinued.

I used a brusho background, stamped the castle using grey versafine clair ink and coloured with ZIG clean colour pens. The fairy was stamped on white card, coloured with the pens and metallic pencils and cut out before being seated among the leaves. The leaves were stamped onto more brusho-coloured card , cut out and glued along the borders
