Just Look....

What the postman brought....well not really the postman, my niece was visiting from Boston.They are available here, they're by Cavallini... and I've just seen the fab Vintage Office tape, I feel another little stash shopping may be necessary.

I just can't resist anything with numbers or letters.......

Monochrome..........?

It's Efemera Ink's (or Glue and Stick as it's affectionately known) monthly meeting on Monday. Each month we make two tags with that month as the theme. We swap one and keep one. Over on LTDO this weeks word is monochrome........well this is as near as I could get!... no pink, green or turquoise! I may have to lie down....

so being short of time .....I made these. I love the way a little UTEE makes it look like it's been raining.

We're doing a journal pages on Monday.... the lovely Julie is our guest mentor for the day... I'll post pictures as soon as.

Enough..........

of the Christmas theme............It's Halloween time!
I don't know about anyone else but sometimes I have a real dilemma when crafting......I'm torn between the nice clean look and the dirty grungy stuff... I suppose Mr Sigmund Freud might have an oppinion on the subject!
Here's my dirty grungy witch...The head and torso is a stamp from Character Constructions, The Mad Tea Party collection

The wings are Artchix...usually available through 3djean

The rest is bits from the trusty bit box.......which seems to expanding at an alarming rate!

Inky!

It's been a while since I've been inky fingers...........and I've had this idea in my head for some time, ever since I bought this Sizzlits Stencil alphabet. I cut random bits of coloured card and used it to stencil letters with gesso onto hand painted papers....

I didn't like the result but did like the stencil bit with the gesso on!

So I spritzed with Adirondack colour washes and Glimmer Mists......It still needed something so I stamped with black Stazon ( Hero Arts stamps) and added text underneath... some plain and some coloured.

Still something lacking............... so I stitched each one in gold ....

Then stuck them all to a 12x12" canvas........the edges were a bit bare so............ they got covered in text!
Finished!
