Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors
How has your week been? We have been busy. On Wednesday we had a new mattress delivered. Along with the new pillows it is all very comfortable. We are also getting quotes for our conservatory, that had damage in the storm, and the bathroom, which is just tired. My hubby is having a few days away next week to spend time with some of his university buddies. It is so good how they have been able to keep in touch.
Here is the second set of samples I made for the release of the Chic in Paris range of stamps from Two Jays. This stamp set is called Simone. I think I was sent this set because she is holding a giant coffee cup and I love coffee.
I have just discovered Versafine Clair Stamp pads. Oh boy with that and a stamp platform stamping has never been so easy. I did the colouring with my Faber Castell colouring pencils. And everything is better with coffee.
I made an easel card with my Presscut Nested Hexagon dies. It was easy to place a hexagon in the stamping platform and keep turning it to get a circle of stamps.
This was my hubby's idea. He found a cup in the cupboard that I could decorate. The stamps were just perfect for it. The background was made with different colours of tissue paper and decoupage glue. I stamped the images onto paper so that they would mould to the cup more easily. I used my Faber Castell Polychromo colouring pencils to colour the images and my VersaFine Clair stamp pad did not run.
You know I love coffee this just had to be done. I used my stamping platform to achieve this result.
All of these are ideal for a coffee lover just like me. Don't forget to join John on Create and Craft for his 2 hour show on Sunday.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie
