Brayering Blues.

By
I've been at the brayer again - well it is my favourite tool of choice when it comes to crafting! This time I have teamed it up with some blue ink and one of my own stamps - take a look
This is my Solid Leaf Branch and it looks great stamped more than once before re-inking. The moon was made using another favourite tool - the post it note and the sentiment is from the Stampin' Up set Just Believe. The inks I have used are also Stampin' Up and are Bordering Blue and Not Quite Navy.
It's been a strange day today - I haven't had time for any crafting 'til now (8.30pm) I had a meeting to show someone around our Village Hall this morning, she was hoping to do Pilates classes, this was followed by me helping out at the local Playgroup (sports day!!!) and then I had a meeting in the afternoon. But I still have to do some crafting before I can rest for the day! Mind you - it won't be for long as Torchwood is on later and there is a glass of wine with my name on it! So I will get on and maybe see you tomorrow - bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

    Absolutely stunning Jacqueline! I love your beautiful scene and the misty blues you've used and the masked moon make it look so romantic!
    Sounds like you've had a busy day - you'll have earned that glass of wine I think! Vx

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
