Where did the week go?

My goodness, I have suffered this week for my weekend away...time has flown...
It started with me putting the finishing touches to samples for the Clarity shows this weekend...(Saturday...Barbara will be in the classroom at 11am and then Sunday she will have shows at 9am and 2pm...) 
Once they were in the post, I  went to see Glynis at CJ CardCraft in Edgeley...had a catch up and bought some goodies...
Then on to samples for Jenny at Hobby Art...oh, she has some lovely new stamps out...wait until you see them...
Jenny was a very lucky lady on Wednesday and went to a workshop with the legend that is Sir Tim of Holts . Not that I am jealous!!!!!!
More about Jenny on TV next week, for now I have two samples from the Clarity Take 2 show to share with you..
This first one uses the Gelli plate and Dove stencil...


The Joy to the world stamp is from Clarity and was stamped using Cranberry Adirondack ink..


A little scribble with Distress marker and job done.
For this second card I used Distress Inks to create a background...and then spritzed water through the cloud stencil....oh this gives a fab effect...


The dove is a Clarity stamp and was stamped twice using StazOn on to vellum...(one turned around..) colour was added with a white gel pen..
The Mistletoe was stamped using Bottle Adirondack ink ...cut out...Bakers twine added and positioned in the middle of the doves..


The brilliant cloud stencil has little holes in it and I drew around these and added white Acrylic paint...oh I do love playing with Stencils.....
I think they are going to be a new obsession!!!!!
Better go now...got another busy weekend....Adam our eldest son is home after his holiday in France...I have just finished Spring cleaning his bedroom...it was a dangerous job....well, he is 24 and I did clean under his bed!!!!! Never again!!! 
Enjoy your weekend....hugs....Jo. X 

P.S. thanks for the lovely afternoon tea today Bethan...it was great to catch up....x
