Hi Everyone
I hope that you aren't all being too battered about with the current gales that we are experiencing at the moment across a lot of the UK. There has never been a better time to just stay in and craft!!!
There is an even better a reason, it's the first challenge of the year over at
And our theme to start this year off is
"SOMETHING NEW"
Now that could be some new stash,a new technique you've been dying to try or a new years resolution, infact anything that's new to you.
We are a stamping challenge so stamping should be the main focus of your project and our lucky winner will win $20 to spend online at Flonzcraft our wonderful sponsor.
For my DT piece I have used some new stamps
The new stamps I have used are from Carabelle Studio and are:-
'Des reves plein les yeux' and 'Suives les fleches'
I have also used Tim Holtz circles from 'Bitty Grunge' set.
The colour added to the background has been added by smearing distress ink on a small acrylic block, misting with water and then just stamping it onto the card. To finish the card off I have added a little bling to the centre of the circles and some torn washi tape. My sentiment
"Release your inner Hippy wear a feather in your hair" has been typed out on my vintage typewriter.
Please visit Here to see what my fabulous teamies have made to inspire you and I hope you will join in with us this fortnight.
