An apple a day .

Good afternoon all, 

And welcome to another new follower. 

I am always so chuffed when we have another member joining our 

crafty family. 

Today I am sharing another recent sample with you. 

This uses a lovely stamp set 

#450 - Basic Fruits by Bipasha BK 

For Aall & Create. 

When I decided to stamp this out I wanted to use a different colour to black. 

I think we tend to use black ink all the time. 

So I went for another favourite colour of mine, Shady Lady 

Look how wonderful it looks in green 

Because I had used a permanent ink, I could then add colour with oxide inks and water. 

This is where a dabble with watercolour painting 

To add extra depth, I used my chalk pastel pencils 

Some matting and layering and the obligatory white posca splats, 

and my design was finished .

I was so pleased with the way that this worked out, 

Here is a closer look 

Thanks to all of you that have messaged asking why I haven’t been on Hochanda recently.

I have been asked but I just don’t feel well enough, especially,  with all the travelling. 

I really have to put myself and my family first .

Hope that makes sense,,

Thanks also for popping in today , 

We have a workshop tomorrow, so I must get my craft room organised 

Take care everyone 

Much love and hugs
