MORE ON THE LATEST STAMPS...

As previously promised I am going to show you some of the sample projects I made with our new release of stamps whilst at The Craft Barn Extravaganza recently.  I am feeling a bit fragile at the moment as I tripped and fell over a concrete slab in a public car park area yesterday, with my face taking the full force of the fall, and have ended up with two stitches above my top lip, plus other grazes and scratches on my face.  I have also knocked one of my front teeth a bit backwards - so all in all not a pretty sight at the moment.  Still I didn't break anything bone wise, so have to count myself lucky I guess, and of course I can still write my Blog and do everything else that needs doing - it could have been much worse.

Anyway Malcolm has taken some photos of the samples mentioned, and as The Craft Barn sells Imagination Crafts Sparkle Medium I just had to have a play with that in a few different colours along with our masks whilst demoing.

You will find the new stamps on these pages HERE and HERE.  Helen Chilton has started me off playing with Distress Ink Pads again, and I found the swooshing technique with the pads and a water spritzer works marvellously with our 'Queen of Arts, Ivory Silk Card' and 'Regency White Satin, Silk Card' and stamps beautifully afterwards.  I had great fun swooshing and adding the glitter medium here and there!

A few members of the Team have been playing nicely too, and I love the following images.  A beautiful grungy tag by Brenda using the giraffe stamp - perfect!

Another gorgeous tag - this time by Paula!

Plus a very pretty card by Gio -

Thanks ladies.  And I will be back soon with more Challenge inspiration from Lucy, Helen, Gio and Brenda.  Our new Challenge post can be found HERE, and some great entries so far too ... Looking forward to seeing Your entry!
