Happy Sunday

Good afternoon all, 

I do hope you are having a lovely,  relaxing Sunday. 

Whilst the chicken and roast potatoes are cooking in the oven I thought I would pop in and have 

a little catch up with you. 

Our fabulous Tracey Dutton has drawn some beautiful new Lavinia stamps and they 

are going to be released this Friday (21st Jan ) 

Here is one of my samples. 

These stamps are just exquisite

I stared off by stamping Liberty. 

I wanted to keep the colouring very simple so that the stamps could speak for themselves. 

Just look at the detail. 

I also stamped the background using the new Bell Flower Vine stamp 

Next I added a little colour 

Some highlights and shadows. 

The chalk pastel pencils work so well for this. 

I edged both pieces with a black Sharpie, as you know I love to do this. 

I also added a few ink splats. 

Then it was some finishing touches, including stamping the middle button again and adding it as a 3D element. 

Look 

I really enjoyed creating this piece, 

I hope you like it too. 

Enjoy your Sunday afternoon. 

See you soon 

Much love and hugs

Jo xxxx
