Winter wreath

Hello

Today I'm sharing an old project dating back to 2016 and Craft Barn DT days. It's still one of my favourites and a really useful technique when embossing. You can find the full process details here.

The wreath was stamped and embossed in white and over stamped with three different colours of distress ink, slighlty off set each time. It was then spritzed with water and sprinkled with Brusho, before adding some colour with fine liner, glossy accents and stickles.

There's starting to be a bit of a nip in the air and winter is officially just a couple of weeks away. It's about time I gave some thought to this year's Christmas cards!

Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely week xx

Home Sweet Home

Hello
Friends moving house is always a great opportunity for me to use one of my favourite stencils. The background is made using a technique adapted from the 2017 Clarity calendar where good quality watercolour paper is sprinkled with Brusho and made wet. The stencil is placed on top and then more watercolour paper and a few sheets of copy paper placed over it. The sandwich is embossed through a die cutting machine to give a positive and negative image.

I've added additional detail with watercolour pencils to make it a bit more lively.

I hope it will be part of years of happy times in the new home.

Wishing you a lovely day wherever you are xxx
