Good afternoon lovely friends and followers.
Today I am going to share with you the projects that we made yesterday in Cumbria at our Clarity workshop.
I do love going up to catch up with crafters, meet new ones and see my sister...
We had our youngest member yesterday and Tasha was an absolute star...and her work was amazing too...I do love it when young people get involved , it warms my heart....oh and her Mum makes gorgeous Banana cake...
The class stamp was the Gerbera .....this was our 'warm up' project....
We then went onto the Distress re-inkers....now this technique has been brought to our attention by the lovely and very talented Maria Simms....who has kindly shared it with Barbara and the DT....so that we can then share it with you....
Thanks Maria.....I love it...and sorry if your ears were burning yesterday....but credit where credit is due.....x
After making our custom made ink pads we made this...
And then after lunch we made this one.....
Such summery colours....you can't beat a bit of Spiced Marmalade ...can you....????
Now our last project is inspired by the wonderful work of another lovely and talented lady Eileen Godwin....and is quite out of my comfort zone.....but that is good....
I must admit I really enjoyed playing and creating this type of work ..and the ladies made fabulous works of art too....
Here they are...
I do love bring part of the Clarity Design Team, where we all share and inspire each other.....and I love to learn and develop new techniques...that I can then pass on to other crafters.....just one big happy craft family.....do let me know what you think....
Right off to walk Tedd between the showers.
Enjoy your Sunday evening...and fingers crossed for a good week ahead...
Much love and hugs,
Jo. xxx
