Midsummer Madness

By
The theme this week at Make My Monday is 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and the challenge is to create something with fairies.
 I borrowed some lovely Katy Sue Silhouette stamps from one of my friends and combined them with my brayer to create this card



My background is a combination of Baja Breeze, Brocade Blue and Not Quite Navy and my images are stamped with Versa Colour black ink.
Not the easiest stamps to use as I found that the stamps took on a lot of ink around the image and I had to be very careful not to transfer that ink to the paper.
I glittered the wings of my fairies and also stamped inside the card


My dt have done me proud this week so I do hope you can pop over and take a look - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    I love both of these Jacqueline, the atmosphere in the first one and the beautiful simplicity of the second one.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
