Mid month reminder for Penny Black and More Challenges....In The Garden.

Hi there!!!

It's time for my mid month reminder for Penny Black and More Challenges for our theme this month of In The Garden.

For my creation this time I decided to go Christmas!!!

I've used Penny Blacks 40-571 Feathers and Twigs with 30-387 Festive Snippets stamp set for the sentiment.

I used a Kaleidocolor ink pad and spritzed with water to make it all bleed, then went in again using my stamping platform with black ink and highlighted a few areas with white multi surface paint and some white Nuvo drops scattered around.

Cornish paintings........

Hi there!

I've been down here in Cornwall and have been working on my painting.

I have painted several while I've been here so thought I would share a couple now with you and I'll follow those up with a few more over time.

These two are watercolours with pastel pencils.

Hope you like them,

Thanks for stopping by,

New theme at Penny Black and More Challenges - In The Garden.......

Hello all!!!

It's time for a new theme over at Penny Black and More Challenges and this months new theme is...

In The Garden.

For this card I've used 30-415 Garden Charmers stamp set with 30-416 Happy Thoughts (the sentiment is one from this lovely stamp set).  I have also used the 25-019 Leaf Frolic stencil.

This Garden Charmers set is fast becoming one of my favourites and I've coloured it all with my Gansai Tambi paints on this one.  The background is a touch of Salty Ocean distress oxide and finished with a few Nuvo vintage drops in the centres of the flowers (hard to see from the photo!).

Meet "Daft Cow".......

Morning!

Well, here is the last of my lockdown paintings so far - you've caught up with me at this stage!

Meet "daft cow"!!!

This is part of a technique with Alison C Board and we all had a go at a highland cow.  It's amazing at how we all interpret the hair, the eyes, horns etc

I hope you've enjoyed these paintings - my blog being quite aptly named "A brush with a stamper" - it just meant to be......
