MAWTT Challenge

Well after all the rain lately it was wonderful to wake up to beautiful sunshine. It's still a bit breezy but lovely for a nice brisk walk then home for a cosy cuppa.

MAWTT has a new challenge starting today, Mrs Duck is hosting and the theme is "Things From My Chosen Song".   The words are as follows:-

Seagulls and aeroplanes

Things of the sky

Winds that go howlin'

Breezes that sigh

City sights

Neon lights

Grey skies or blue

Here is my DT card

I used pieces from a pack of Tim Holtz ephemera, chipboard letters & metal corners, oxide inks to colour the blue background, natural hemp twine and a sentiment from a Dawn Bibby Creations stamp set.

Pop over to MAWTT to join in the challenge.

Until next time............

Seascape Canvas

Back doing what I love!! 

Spent the whole day in my craft room and it felt amazing :) 

The first few hours just messing about but then I decided to design / make the canvas that I promised Ben I would make for the upcoming launch of The Craft Show on 1st March (all you crafty people need to pop over and take a look, why not like their facebook page to keep up to date with all the news.

The back of the canvas was painted using Koh-I-Noor magic paints, the chipboard letters were stippled with IndigoBlu coarse texture paste (love this product) then painted with acrylic paint, a tiny touch of distress crayons were used to highlight. The beach was painted using the acrylic paint too then a net from a bottle of booze was cut up to lay across the corner, craft rope from the range was hot glued around the canvas and Creative Expressions dies were used for the fish, shells, anchor, seaweed etc.

It feels so good to be back!!!    Hope you like it.

Until next time..............

Happy crafting  xx
