Happy in Hazel Grove...

Good evening....I am sat with my cup of green tea, some relaxing music and my feet up....at the end of another busy but wonderful day...Karl is in the other room watching footie on TV......so I thought it was a good time for a catch up....

Today at our workshops we used a brilliant stamp set....the Remountable large village set ....mmmm I can't believe that I didn't already have this one....soon rectified....

Here is our first card...

Or.....

Depending which stencil was used...

Start with masking off the lower part of your card, attach the stencil and brush through some blue ink...

Next stamp all the elements.....this is such a cheat and a quick way to create this landscape...shhh don't tell,...

Join up the horizon line with a black fine liner...and add the green ink...

Then out with the Spectrum Noir pencils, black Sharpie and ruler...

Job done...

Our second card was a Christmas card....a sneaky way of me actually making a start...yah...one done...lots still to make....

Again a quick and easy card...well we do need some like that at Christmas...

Before I go just a reminder that Barbara will be at the launch of Hochanda tomorrow....

Hochanda stands for ......Home Of Chrafts, Hobbies, AND Art....

It launches at 12 noon on....Sky....663........ freeView...39 and FreeSat...822...

Then on Saturday at 6pm with the first Clarity Stamps and Stencil show.....followed by Sunday at 10am with the Groovi show....make sure you book your seat...

Thanks for your company....United are 1-0 up at the moment ....so Karl is a happy bunny....hope it lasts.....

Take care....

And see you soon....

Much love...
