CAS at CI


the theme for the group ATC swap was clean and simple - don't think you could get much simpler! 
Stamp set by Crafty Individuals, just black versafine ink on white card
Would like to add this to the challenge at tag-alongandatc  -  things with wings
 following recent radiotherapy treatment, now have enough energy to start sorting out the craft stuff after my son 'tidied up', have now found some of the stamps I've been looking for......also the paints I wanted to use months ago......the charity shop and craft group gained lots of stuff I didn't know I had ( so won't miss it!) and not only can you see the floor there's even space on the desk......

Just playing


 A day of playing with alcohol inks at Tando Creative saw me coming away with a set of perspex tags and ideas.......thanks Di Oliver for a great day!

This is the first result - small tag coloured with blue, green and gold alcohol inks. Then the teasel stamp from Crafty Individuals was stamped in black versafine onto a piece of  leftover card coloured using the shaving foam technique that had lurked in the bit pile for yonks. I wasn't sure how to attach it to the tag, but decided to go with glossy accents, which worked a treat.

I am adding this to the new challenge blog Tag-Along(andATC's) , definitely an interesting take on the challenge theme and thankfully anything goes for the theme

fantasy flower


 card using a fantasy flower stamp from Chocolate Baroque and a stencil from Artisan Design,  - script in the background was an even older clear stamp,  anonymous but so useful!

magnolia


 Decided that I really must get back to doing some crafting  - have partially sorted out the chaos after my son tidied things up while i was in hospital last year, and need to make samples for a WI workshop later on using things I can actually find!

One of my finds was this lovely magnolia stamp from Chocolate Barqoue (think i have found most of my CB stamps now), the butterfly stencil from Aall& create and  anonymous script and music clear stamps that I have used in the background. The image is coloured with kuretake pens

I am linking this to challenges from Stamping Sensations

and We love stamping, both with themes of Hello Spring
