There is Beauty in Simplicity

 Hi Everyone

I'm over on That's Crafty's blog today in my regular weekly spot sharing some of my recent creativity. 

Over the last couple of weeks I have created projects using some of Tim Holtz fabulous Stampers Anonymous stamps and Ranger distress mediums so I have continued along those lines with the mixed media card I share today. 

 However, in contrast to my last couple of projects ( here and here) that had a real distressed look with layers and texture my card today has a much more contemporary stylised vibe to it. 

I love the versatility of Tim's stamp designs and distress products as they lend themselves to many a creative style.



There's more to see and read over on the blog so I hope you will come join me over there.

Hope to see soon

I Dare You!

 Hi Guys, 

It's my regular day of the week over on That's Crafty's blog today where I'm sharing some creativity.

After having fun creating my 'Grave Digger' art panel that I shared here and here last week I continued along a similar line off creativity for todays make which is a mixed media 'Halloween' card using Tim Holtz fab Stampers Anonymous stamps, distress mediums and ideology.   

The card has layers of inky colour, detail, stamping and a golden mica stain glow surrounding the focal feature - a striking embossed skull that I think , for me has to be up there when it comes to fave stamp images. 


There's more to see and read over on the blog so hope you'll come join me.

Look forward to seeing you soon

The Grave Digger

 Hi Everyone 

Just another short post here today to give you the heads up that I'm over on That's Crafty's blog in my usual Thursday spot sharing my latest make 'The Grave Digger'. 

It's a mixed media art panel that I guess would be considered to be a 'Halloween' themed piece. Sure, its ideal for that occasion but I know it'll be displayed in my creative space year round along with my 'Skellie Heads' (see here) that I created 5 years ago now. 

I really enjoyed creating this one using some of Tim Holtz fab products - both old and new but all faves! 

Let me introduce you to 'The Grave Digger'


 

If you'd like to read more about my creativity, see more pics then you are welcome to come join me over on the blog . Just click HERE  for a quick and simple transfer over there. 
Hope to see you soon

The 'star of the show' is Mr Blue- a man of maths and all things related.

'Happy Birthday to You'

 Hi Everyone 
and 
Happy September! 

Wow where does the time go?? ⏰

Another Thursday too so I'm over on That's Crafty's blog in my usual dt spot sharing some creativity. 

Unfortunately, a few unforseen life curve balls this last week left me with very limited creative time so todays make is very much an example of something you could create if ever you find yourself short of time. 

It a bright, cheery and colourful birthday card that saw me teaming up an AALL & Create Washi tape with some of my much loved Tim Holtz distress inks and the 'Happy Birthday' saying from Tim's Stampers Anonymous 'Bold Saying' (CMS433) stampset. 

Here's a quick look at the card...

There's more to see and read over on the blog so if you fancy popping by just click HERE for a  quick re-route. 

Would love for you to join me so hope to see you soon
