Hey ho readers

There's been a slow break in transmissions lately as I've not been very well. Family things have to take priority as well as my health. I've had no concentration to even create much either.

I'll leave you with some cute photos and maybe you'd like to see a video taken this week of the mess our front and back gardens have been reduced to. It never rains it pours here at the Hovel. Sigh, it's literally not stopped raining since they started to remove the trees/bushes for the trench to be dug.

1st a video

This link above will allow you to see, I've made it viewable so you don't need to have a Dropbox account.

Next, little Miss Pip, a rare moment when she didn't know I was photographing her

Next, my view from the couch lately...

Next, my neglected craft/creative desk

So that's all for now, remember,

happy stamping, colouring & creating!

Fabulous Friday @ 5'o'clock, 5March2021!

Oh my goodness, Friday again!

This week I am sharing several creations using backgrounds I have hand stamped and coloured. I've used the Forever Fern stamp set and the new blending brushes to blend in colours which co-ordinate with the base coloured card stocks. I've made a quick video of how I blend with these fabulous new brushes (new in the current mini catalogue, page 70)

These are the three different colour combinations I've done on A4 white card stock. I trimmed each sheet down to 4 card fronts which have been layered onto basic black card stock then onto to their co-ordinating folded colour card bases. Before I've mounted the background onto the black I have used my blending brushes around the outer edges of the patterned pieces.

I've made a short video which you can see below to show you how easy it is to use the new Stampin Blending Brushes. I feel they are a must have in your Stampin Tools!
