Love in the round...

I'm on the That's Crafty! blog today with one of those wonderful face stamps:

Thanks for looking!

Circle Journal...

I suddenly realised I haven't shown my circle journal made for the last That's Crafty! show. There's something very satisfying about circles - don't know what it is.
Anyway, here's the front cover:

I've used one of the faces and then slightly changed the hairstyle. The dress is one of the ginger flowers turned upside down. The background uses the inks to colour and to stamp. These inks are great - they dry to a satin finish and are translucent so you can create layers of colour.

When I used the faces I found it easiest to stamp it first, then paint over in white/flesh colours and then restamp - it's easy to line it up as it's a clear stamp.

Thanks for looking!

Mark making...

I'm over on the PaperArtsy blog tonight with a project on mark making:

I've chosen to use a set of image stamps rather than patterns so hop on over and see what I've done!

Thanks for looking!

Journal delights....

Here are a few more pages of the journal I made for That's Crafty!'s last show.

This uses loads of the stencils on a Gelli Plate, and, of course, the hand carved trees.

The flower on the left comes from Melina's papers.

I just love the bunny and the really useful border that comes with that set.

Thanks for looking!
