Winter Wonderland with PaperArtsy....

The theme over on the PaperArtsy blog at the mo is Triptychs for which I've made a little tin one with some of the new Christmas Hot Picks stamps:

If you want to see how I made this, hop on over to the blog.

Ladies let loose with a brayer!

We had a great time at the Inky Fingers Club yesterday inking and rolling and making all sorts of cards. These are the rest of what we were doing:

These first two use Woodware stamp sets and the last two use a Cover a Card stamp, Birds on Trees by Impression Obsession:

Don't forget that although the bricks and mortar shop has closed, The Craft Barn is still an online shop and has lots of lovely goodies!

Thanks for looking!

Lynne Perrella and a brayer....

What more could you ask for? Some of my favourite stamps and favourite techniques.

I'm teaching a class for the Craft Barn next week (well The Inky Fingers Club) and they wanted to try out things with brayers, so here we go:

I'll show you some more samples, using completely different stamps, later in the week.

Thanks for looking!

More blues and greens......

Here are a few more cards from the demo:

The falling snow stencil is particularly effective used with uncoloured Grunge Paste.

A very bright Christnas......

A couple of weeks ago I was demoing at The Craft Barn using some Kaisercraft stencils, Grunge Paste and some of the latest Distress inkpads.
I decided on some non traditional colours and came up with these:

I've added Stampendous Frantage embossing enamels straight onto the Grunge Paste and it gives a wonderful textured finish.
