Now this theme got me thinking...I love my crafting so much , I really have so many favourite things...
But today I am on my way up to Leyburn to set up ready for tomorrow's Clarity Open day...
It is a great day , Barbara, Paul and many of the DT , including little old me , will be demonstrating, chatting and having lots of crafty hugs.
I will be using a fabulous new stencil....and I really hope that you like it...( as I drew it !!! Yes, I really did,,,with pencil and paper....!!!)
So here is what I came up with
I thought that this challenge was a perfect way to use it for the first time,,,
I started by using the large flower,
And added some ink from the Artistry ink pad range,,.
I do love these inks, they blend really well and are so juicy ...
This is what I had when I removed the stencil, and did some water spritzing
Next came the smaller of the flowers, to add some detail to the background
Followed by some smooshing....one of my favourite techniques....
Some matting and layering and a Clarity word...well we are using my favourite things
So we just needed some butterflies
And to finish off some glossy accents,,,another favourite product of mine,,,followed by a metal embellishment .
Oh yes, lots of my favourites...
So now it is over to you...
What are your favourite things ? ...and no long lists...lol..
The rest of the DT have made fabulous projects..do check them out...
Right I had better get on that motorway...and head up North...
Take care all..
Have a fabulous weekend,,,and pop back soon
Much love and hugs

Hello Jo, I have been reading your blog now for a few months and really love it when JR Crafts pings into my e-mail box. I have only tonight realised that this is where I comment and not on the e-mail. Doh! I met you at Ally Pally a couple of years ago when you were demonstrating on Barbara's stand. You were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I really enjoy reading your blog and do so admire your designs. Now I have found you I will comment more often.
Oh Susan, so good to have you on here, especially now that I can read your comments...thank you for your kind words, and your support on here...xx
Thank you ladies, I do enjoy reading your comments....hugs...xxx
