Sticker Stencils and Brusho powders

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in. 

I do hope your day is going well. 

It was a very wet dog  walk this morning, 

Poor Eric was soaked…he might as well have been for a swim. 

Today I have a sample to share with you using one of our new sticker stencils and some brusho powders. 

These are such a great combination. 

I started by adding Midnight Blue Elements ink through the sticker stencil and then adding clear embossing powder,,,

This gives not only a shiny effect but forms  a resist technique too.

Next I added some Brusho powder and spritzed with water, 

I used my air puffer too

This really means that you can move the colour and the water to exactly where you want it. 

When dry I added more shade and a moon 

I finished off the design with some Lavinia cobwebs and creepy foliage. 

I just love using the brusho powders with the sticker stencils. 

I do hope you have a play 

I  must get on, lots to do today…

Take care all 

Much love and hugs

What a day

Good morning everyone, 

I do hope you had a lovely weekend. 

Yesterday I had a fabulous day, demonstrating all this Lavinia on the Stampers Grove stand

at the Papercraft show in Leigh. 

It was lovely to see so many crafters.

Thanks so much James for asking me and Lisa for all your help. 

We were so busy, the day just flew. 

It was such a pleasure to be able to demonstrate using some of the new Lavinia Sticker Stencils,

We have 3 new sets 

Here is a sample using the beautiful butterfly from set 4 

I began by choosing some colours of ink 

I then added the stencil design, one colour at a time

until my design was finished 

Some posca splats and a sentiment finished of the whole look. 

I do hope you like it. 

Have a lovely day and I will pop back later with a 

Mindful Monday video for you.

Much love and hugs

New Sticker Stencils.

Hi everyone, 

Thanks so much for popping in today. 

I have been on grandma duties and oh boy I have got wet this morning and this afternoon. .

Not to mention walking Eric twice…

I can’t wait to have a warm shower and get my pjs on. 

Before I do, 

I just wanted to pop in and let you know that we have 

3 new sets of sticker stencils. 

Set 2- Night Star Collection

Set 3- Pure Collection.        

Set 4- Elegant Collection

I just know that you are going to love using these.

I have some inspiration for you. 

I do hope you like it. 

I started with the sticker stencil and some lavinia masking tape.

Next I started to add some colour to my hare,

Building it up gently 

The small stencil brush is great for shading areas.

Next I added some background stencil work….

I find this so effective.

Some finishing tricks

Some white posca splats 

Here is a closer look 

There are so many possibilities…

Thanks for joining me 

I hope you have a lovely weekend 

Much love and hugs
