Less is more!

Hi everyone! I am gutted last week I missed Less Is More for the 1st time since it started!

I was in Germany for the Grandchildren s Christening (photos here) we had a wonderful time.

I wish I could have brought them all home with me.

Over on LIM it's use washi tape.

I don't have any so used some Scotch repo tape and stamped onto it with Bo Bunny sentiment and Inkidinkido flower.

Flower embellishment was made with a large heart die but I only used part of it. I coloured  the clay and dipped into Stamping Up die ink Rich Razzleberry. I also used Old Olive SU ink.

WOYWW 218

Hi everyone the sun is shining once again here in Durham! 

Thankfully it has cooled down to a bearable heat! 

It's time for another WOYWW 218 I'm afariad it's a bit like deja vu lol I am still playing with clay. I have been using some Cosmic Shimmer micro paints to colour them and some sprays.

If you don't no what WOYWW is it's where we get to go snoop on other crafty work desks!

So pop over to Stamping Ground and join in the fun!
...........................
I have found the clay really easy to use.
I have played with Martha Stewart, DAS & Cloud Clay.
I prefer the consistency of the Martha Stewart & Cloud Clay. DAS clay is more economical.
It's easy to colour the clay I bought some MS coloured blocks of clay but to be honest you can use your Alcohol markers & paints ect.
I have bought quite a few moulds from China (Ebay UK) HERE. They are really cheap and free P&P. They came within two weeks but they can take longer.

Hope this helps?

Colour inspiration

A warm welcome to my new & regular followers.

It's been a bit of a stressful week for us. Our Gd3 had her tonsils out and needed to be rushed back down to surgery as she was bleeding a lot. 

She is home now and asking for hot dogs icecream, jelly and cream! lol! She is eating very little and still quite weak but slowly improving. 

Ella also has sleep apnea  and was struggling without her tonsils till her body got used to not having them.
