Making a Splash.

By
I actally managed to make my three atc's for Addicted to ATC's today. Whether or not they will be in time for Tuesday - I don't know! I went to my local P.O and last post went at 4.45pm - I always thought it went at 5.45 DOH! Anyhow - they are in the post now and must take their chances.
The theme this month was 'Make a Splash' It could be anything to do with water so I decided upon a seahorse. (Mainly 'cos that is the only watery type stamp I had!).

These were made using very dark card stock (Stampin' Up Night of Navy & Handsome Hunter). The card stock was then covered in Versa Mark ink. I then got my Cosmic Shimmers out and threw on some blue, green and gold powders and blended them with a soft paintbrush. I inked up my seahorse stamp again with the Versa Mark and stamped it onto the cards. This 'lifted' the powder off the card to reveal the image. (If you try this remember to clean your stamp well afterwards as it ruins your ink pads). I then added some blingy details and a bit of glitter. Thanks for stopping by - hope you have a good weekend - Jacqueline xx.

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

 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
