BEAUTIFUL ART

A lovely surprise for me yesterday, was to be given an ATC from Gez. Although she couldn't make it to the demo, she had sent this fabulous card for me.

I am such a fan of Stampotique stamps too.

Many thanks Gez. I owe you.









Not only did I receive this ATC, but She had also made 2 amazing tags for me. How lucky am I?

This tag is even more amazing in real life. The detail and embossing make it feel like wax. I love the rich colours too.

This is a special tag for me because I just love orange and black coupled with Tim's fabulous Halloween stamps.

Again, the detail and combination is so good, right down to the black embossing around the edges. Fab.

Thanks again She. x







I managed to swap a couple of ATCs but can only find one. I think the other must still be in the car. I'll have to have a search. Anyway, this one is from Lindsay.

These colours are my all time favourite so I just had to pick this one.

I think I am right in saying that the background is alcohol ink on metal over stamped with one of Tim's stamps in black archival. Lindsay has written the words in white gel pen and stuck the word 'discover' on top of that.

It also looks like she has coloured some ribbon to match the card. Fabulous.
Thank you again ladies.

HAPPINESS COMES AT DEMOS

I had a lovely catch up with She today at Lindsay's demo in Dawn's shop. I also met another wonderful lady who is part of She's grungey book swap, Karen. But I missed Gez because she couldn't make it today. Get you next time gal.
Lindsay was having a ball showing us her fabulous cards. Here is just one:

Isn't this gorgeous. I have practised the techniques used to make this card on Lindsay's Ranger workshop, but never attempted anything as bold as this. Perhaps I should have a go.
We challenged Lindsay to make something using a 'cute' stamp and distress inking. It was an impossible task - the challenge her bit - because she is so clever I bet she could make anything at all.
Anyway, a few minutes later this gorgeous tag was completed.

Who said you couldn't combine  cute with distressing and the sophisticated.
I so enjoyed the banter with the girls and just wish I could craft every day with them all. Please pop back tomorrow because I have some amazing tags and ATCs to share with you thanks to the talent I met today and know.
