Snowflakes

Snowflakes is the challenge for the next two weeks at TRY IT ON TUESDAY.

I re-visited an old (and sometimes messy) technique of Stencil Monoprint. I made several cards like this some time back and I enjoyed doing them again.
You get a different result each time from the same stencil!

I used Chipped Sapphire Oxide. Swiped over the stencil, sprayed it with water then pressed it onto some watercolour paper. 
I really like the artsy imperfect images.

When dry I stamped the sentiment in dark grey and then overstamped and white heat embossed.

I love the snow - there is nothing better than bright blue skies and a white snow blanket everywhere - as long as you're inside with a mug of hot chocolate looking out that is......  🍵 

Get Ready For Christmas

Time for our next challenge at Try It On Tuesday and this time we're kick starting Christmas preparations.

I had some wooden circles left from a previous (and very old) project so I made a couple of 'baubles' by simple stamping and colouring, highlighting the edges with either a Posca pen or a little bit of white embossing.

The backs of the wooden circles were simply stamped with a Christmas Greeting.

The pics aren't the best as I am having difficulty holding camera/phone steady at the mo. It's only temporary but certainly ain't good for trying to get clear images!

Hope you can join us this challenge - looking forward to seeing your creations and thanks for looking today. x
