Morning

Good morning all, 

Firstly I would like to say welcome to another new follower. 

Please pull up a chair and make yourself at home. 

I hope you had a lovely weekend. 

We had a lovely workshop on Saturday and spent the morning creating a shaker card and a shaped card.

It was so lovely and such a happy creative time.

We had the grandchildren for a sleep over on Saturday but unfortunately Karl was unwell, 

So I had 3 little men to look after. 

I hope you managed to catch the Lavinia shows on The Craft Store on Friday. 

Here is one of my samples. 

Here is a little tutorial of how I made it. 

So if you fancy grabbing a brew and joining me…

Let’s get creating 

I began by creating a background using my Elements ink pads. 

I do love to do this, and the ink pads have so much pigment in them. 

I used a piece of the watercolour card…honestly it is just fabulous card. 

I used a grey to add a sort of moody look. 

My attempt at adding atmosphere. 

When dry I added the stamping, using black ink. 

Then I added more foliage using Monarch ink. 

Look how you can build up the foliage and frame the design

I added the moon with a circle mask, then added more detail using my chalk pastel pencils. 

I also blended more ink around the edges to frame the scene. 

Then finally some sparkle with some of the Eco Glitter. 

Here is a closer look.

I do love the way the sky has turned out. 

I hope your Monday goes well and that you have a lovely day. 

Take care all. 

Thanks for popping in
