The Blues!!

A very quick post today!

Must get back to my desk, as I am in the middle

of clock making!!

The result of selling so much at the last Craft Event!!

Fortunately I do have quite a lot of stock.

However, I sold 2 of my clocks and I must make similar again, 

as they are the popular ones.

This card I made using stamps borrowed from a 

friend that is selling stamps.

I just stamped the image with a grey ink

and went over the detail with a Marvy 

water colour pen. 

In my stash, I found a couple of pieces of Mulberry paper, 

which I have had for more years than I can say!!

I had forgotten just how soft the backing looks with it.

Right, off to my desk! 

Thanks for popping in and I do treasure

the comments you leave me.

Have a lovely weekend.

Big hugs,

Carol

No Ink Line Stamping - For Annette!!

I was having an email chat with Annette at Netty's Cards, 

about water colour pens and using them direct onto 

rubber stamps.

I said that when I started stamping many years ago,  I didn't have

any inks, just my pens. 

So I had to use the pen direct method.

She then told me to 'Do It'!!

So I have Annette!!

I have used stamps that were free with the Creative Stamping

magazine, latest one.

The first image was a bird on a garden tool handle.

I just altered the shape a bit, to make a larger

garden ornament.

The Crocus as also one of the stamps.

The plant between the Crocus an the wood I just 

drew with one of my pens.

The purple flowers to the right are a very old stamp.

This stamp was from the same set of stamps.

Very simple but really liked the end result.

More importantly, I really enjoyed going back to 

how I started stamping. 

I used my Marvy Le Plumme and Tom Bow Water Colour Pens.

They are so old that it was a bit of a struggle 

to get many of them to work!!

So THANK YOU Annette for getting me to do it!!!!

Thanks for popping in and leaving your lovely messages.

You know I will always return the compliment. 

That's what blogging is all about!!

Big hugs,

Carol
