Water colouring with Louise ...

Hi Everybody,

A very late post from me today but I have been really busy. I thought I would share with you this water colouring session I had with Louise from Craft Stash who came over to my house a couple of weeks ago.

We had some great fun doing this and this is the film that was made of the session.
 I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
And the little hint at the end of the video of something soon will be here shortly ... watch this space

More form me tomorrow ...

Creative Stamping 49 - Christmas Sparkle

Hi Everybody,

The new Creative Stamping magazine will be on sale tomorrow and there is a huge A4 stamp set with it full of beautiful Christmas images for you to colour

In the video I have tried to show you that you can use this set for birthdays too and so it would make lovely winter cards for any members of your family and friends


The video shows me using some Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent Pigment and I have had this for a long time.

 So little is used each time and it goes a long way. The little applicator brush comes with the pots and there are six different colours in the pack.

It gives a really shimmery look to your cards and is so quick and easy to use.

I hope you enjoy the video 

More tomorrow ...
