Winner

Hi Everybody,

This has been my Birthday week and I have been out and about with Ruby. Yesterday which was my actual Birthday we went to Cuerden Park and had a really good walk along with Ruby's best friend Dougal and my daughter , his mum.

It is a dogs' paradise in there as there is water to splash in, hills to climb and lots of trees to sniff about in. There may be even the odd squirrel lurking around to be barked at. It's lovely and especially when the weather is good as it was yesterday.

Now onto the draw for yesterdays prize and the name is 

Lyn Nash

if you would email me your postal address please to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

I will get it in the post to you straight away and I hope you have fun playing with this A4 stamp set.

More tomorrow ...

Then one name will be chosen and announced in a blog post over the weekend so be sure to come back and check if it is your name that is shown.

Tonic Dies are always good ones and well worth building up into your own collection. And with a magazine each month it is surprising how quickly your collection can grow.

Paint Pouring

Hi Everybody,

Today I want to share with you the latest project I have completed with Paint Pouring and for this one I am so happy.  And what a difference it has made to the bedroom.

The result is absolutely stunning ... even if I do say so myself.

So here is a very short video of the journey although I haven't shown the actual pour itself.

The canvases where far to large to do in my craft room and I had to move to my garage to do them. There is no camera set up in there and so no filming. But I am working on it !!

The curtains and bedding in the room are new and the carpet is a very pale beige.
One wall has fitted white wardrobes and the other has a large window, the one wall left is cream

I hope you enjoy the little video and I hope you like the end result on the wall.

The paints I used are from various companies but because I needed such a lot to cover the canvases  the white base coat is 

 Dulux Brilliant White Silk Finish Paint 

and I have thinned it to the correct consistency with water.

It saved me a lot of money in White Acrylic Paint and I am more than happy with the finish.

The other colours are Pthalo Green, Orange, Payne's Grey, Coeruleum Blue, Ultramarine Blue.

 24K Gold from Decoart and a little touch of Black.

I did it as a Dutch pour and blew it out with my hairdryer.

Winner

Hi Everybody,

Well it's cold and very windy here today and there is yet more rain forecast for this weekend. I doubt very much that Ruby will be getting her walk as it will blow her away.  So it's fire time and feet up.

 If you managed to catch Facebook Live yesterday then thank you for joining us and if you won one of the free sets of the new Provence Collection then I really hope you will enjoy playing with them once they arrive with you.

The draw has been done for yesterdays prize and the name today is 

Sue Cockerham

please would you email me your postal address to

christina@card-making-magic.com

and the set will be on its way to you.

Please let me know that you have it safely and I hope you enjoy playing with this set.

Friday Freebie Art Nouveau Collection

Hi Everybody,

If stamping is your thing then you are going to love this big stamp set.

It is an A4 size and the title is Art Nouveau and it will help you to make some really lovely cards for male and female. 

There is no video to show you with this stamp set but the magazine has lots of inspiration for you to see.

Would you like this set??  Then please leave me a comment with your FULL NAME at the end of the post. From those comments one name will be chosen and notified in a blog post over the weekend.

Can I remind you again that if there is not your full name then you will not be entered into the draw.

Thank you to most of you who are very obliging with this but there are the odd one or two that do not comply.

I am not being awkward about this it just ensures that the prize goes to the correct winner.

 I may have four Sues or three Maggies,  so if they all only added one name it would be very awkward trying to name the winner.

But with a full name then it is easier to get the correct person and send them their prize.

Good Luck everybody

Don’t forget to join me on Craft Stash Facebook Live at 1 pm
