Good evening all, well this week has been a tough week in the Rice household. It was Mikeys 23rd Birthday, as he doesn't cope with excitement very well and has spent 3 days in bed unwell....(due to many fits).
So we all rally round as a family and today he is much better, thank goodness and finally eating something.
I have been trying to catch up with jobs on my craft list...first of all I had to get some Clarity Samples made for next Sundays shows on C & C ...then, it was time to use some of the new A5 Stencils.....oh they are fabulous ....here is one of my makes...
This is the petal stencil with the large Garden Bird....and yes, I did resist calling it a large tit....
Here is a closer look.
I used the stencil brushes to do the blending....as you know I love these brushes,
They work well with all the stencils...
Here's another one...
Thank you for calling in today, if you have time please leave me a comment....I'm off now to phone my Mum and have a catch up....
Another busy weekend ahead, it's the Happy Stampers show at Port Sunlight...one of my favourites.....the building and surroundings are so beautiful...so I will bid you all goodnight....and see you soon.
Have a good weekend,
Hugs Jo. X

ReplyDeleteGlad Mikey is improving, must be difficult as a mother to see your darling boy so poorly. Your stencil work is beautiful. I'm really enjoying swishing and swooshing my delicious brushes over them.
