Hi there and welcome to my blog! I have been crafting for over 25 years. I enjoy anything messy!!! Using inks, paints and particularly rubber stamping. Through these terrible times with the Covid 19 pandemic I have also tried my hand at watercolour painting and mixed it with my love of nature and particularly animals of any kind. So on this blog, I will share my love of papercrafting, mixed media crafting and my watercolour and mixed media paintings. You never stop learning!.......

Mid month reminder for We Love Chocolate Baroque for our theme of "feminine"
Hi there!
Here's my mid month reminder for the We Love Chocolate Baroque Challenge:-
We Love Chocolate Baroque Challenge
I loved making this sample, not only is it quite a simple make, it's feminine but also has a peaceful feeling to it so suitable for a feminine sympathy card too?
Here I have used Chocolate Baroque's Essence of Nature stamp set
I used Distress inks for the background and coloured the butterflies with Sincerely Yours watercolour blending brush pens finishing with an organza ribbon and some nuvo drops.
There's still plenty of time to get your entry in to our challenge, just use the link that I've popped on here above.
Thanks for stopping by,

New theme at We Love Chocolate Baroque..... Feminine
Hi there and Happy New Year! - (let's hope we all have a much better year than we did in 2020!).
It's the first Sunday of January so we have a new theme for you over at the We Love Chocolate Baroque Challenge :-
We Love Chocolate Baroque Challenge
This month our them is "feminine".
My sample for this theme is a DL card using Chocolate Baroque's
Stamped with Kaleidacolor ink pad {birthstone} and coloured with distress inks Evergreen Bough, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves.
The background is Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves distress ink sponged on with a dauber.
I finished with some Swarovski crystals but they are hard to pick up from the photo I'm afraid.
Do come over and join us!
Thanks for Stopping by,
