{Masking Technique with Fine Tip Glue Pen}

Wow! What a week - I'm still recovering from last weekend's excitement, and adjusting to the products that are retiring from the current catalogue.
What do you think of the new in colours?

These are some of the samples I made for the display at Onstage in Telford.  They feature a really simple technique, made easy by the use of the Fine Tip Glue Pen.  You can choose your favourite stamps to have a go.

Showing off another Saleabration set, this time the "Hello" set that has lots of lovely sentiments.  So simple to jazz up with some florals and some bling.

{Birthday spray of flowers}

Much as I love making layered and somewhat complicated cards, there's something really satisfying about combining some images onto a flat piece of card stock to make something  quite lovely. 

The leaves (What I Love stamps stet) were stamped with Watermelon Wonder onto the same colour cardstock, with flowers from the Birthday Blooms stampset.  I then used the splatters from Awesomely Artistic in Tip Top Taupe to finish it off.

Here is a video of me making it, and rambling about different things... enjoy!

{Flower class results}

On Tuesday I ran a paper flower making class, some of the lovely ladies that came sent me photos of the items they made, thought you might like to see them.  I love how everyone can change the look of what they are creating by different choices of colours and stamps.

I'm referring to the centres of the flowers below.  Been playing with paper punches tonight, getting ready for a class next week.

I've used the Fun Flower Punch, Pansy Punch and the Birthday Blossoms stamp set.
