Papercuts and with different products

For this workshop (coming up in April) I used the papercuts die from creative expressions with different products. These included sprays, inks for colour, pixie powders and some of the new cosmic shimmer opal and lustre polishes. You'll note I also liked the black and white finish.

Springtime garden

Thinking of Spring I have used the flower stained glass dies from creative expressions and 2 of the woodware stamps alongside the multilayered bunnies from crafts too.

Effects are from spraying, ink colouring and gilding polishes.

A couple of extras

Having been away for a week and being busy with workshops this week  I haven't done many new cards but there was a flower variation I did before I went away with JND's blousy poppy die.

Then I received the "Spot the Dog" stamp from this issue of creative stamping so I did one card with that this morning.

I notice there is no post with my "Springtime" board on and I don't have a picture at the moment so that'll be coming next

Creative stamping - "Furry friends"

I got carried away with the latest magazine stamps due out this week. I do have better pictures of the individual cards but 13 seemed too many to put on. As usual my challenge was to use every stamp on the sheet.

Butterflies , Dragonflies & other wildlife

The butterflies were mainly done with woodware stamps and the dragonflies with the papercuts die from creative expressions. I've then added into this workshop more wildlife from the stamps we used recently for those who hadn't tried them yet.

More with Stencils

 I have looked at using both plastic and metal stencils with some of the new cosmic shimmer pastes and mixing these with pixie powders to change the colour.

The T shirt and bag were done with the Adaline glitter paints ? pastes. 

(Anyone doing a workshop can bring their own item to decorate)

Then if anyone wants to do the all day workshop with freebees to the value of the course, there is the additional board showing what can be done with 1 stencil and 1coloured paste pot.

All sorts of Flowers

I have already shown you the cyclamen that I did whilst waiting for new dies to come in. We now have an orchid and poppy die from John next door and I have three samples of each. Some are done with paper and some with the thin floral foam.
The cards on the bottom row of the board are from the poinsettia die reminding people it can be used any time of the year

Vintage Collage -(creative stamping)

These cards are done using the stamps from the latest creative stamping magazine " Vintage Collage". I have used a variety of colouring materials and methods on the different cards. Cards done at this weeks workshop on these can be seen on my facebook page

A few flowers and updates on last 2 posts

whilst waiting for JND new flower dies to come in I tried doing a cyclamen from dies I had. Results below. Then the orchid came in but I only managed to capture one image before battery on camera went!

so more next week.

In the meantime I've added to the last two boards as new workshop cards have been done.

stamping with solid and multilayered stamps

On this workshop board I have used a number of Phil Martins solid stamps against different backgrounds - some inked and some with the backgrounds produced for last workshop ( not that they show off too well here).
Also there are the multilayed stamps from Crafts too - the lighthouse and the rabbit..

I've also included here another of the backgrounds made with pigment inks,which made a lovely scene but unfortunately my photography doesn't do it justice. Frame for John Next Door.
