FF@F'o'clock'ish, 8th March 2019!

Well hello again and welcome to another fabulous Friday at 5'o'clock'ish!

This week I'm revisiting a technique because I earned this really lovely stamp set through the Sale-A-Bration promotion and want to show it off.

I have always loved doing this technique. I don't know if it has an 'official' name but it's along the lines of direct to rubber but instead of the rubber stamp, it's direct to the clear acrylic block!   I take a clean smooth acrylic block, swipe my ink pad across it with several different colours. Tip: start from lightest to the darkest colours). I then get plain water in a very fine mist bottle and spritz the block.  Next I stamp the block directly onto water colour paper. I don't lift if up straight away, I smoosh it around about and move it from side to side, up and down to get all the ink off the block.  Have a look in the video I did of the finished card below this...

Tutu Tuesday, 11th December 2018

Hi everyone,

Well, not so much a tutorial but a tutu share and a creation with some gorgeous new products!

How cute is this little one in her tutu and look at those gorgeous colours, I'm thinking Lemon Lime Twist and Coastal Cabana!

Whilst packing a few things to go back up to my father's, I had to stop and play for a bit. This lovely card in Early Expresso base card, layered with Lemon Lime Twist gingham & white paper (new next month) and an embossed piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock (the embossing folder is new next month too!)  Tadahhhh how pretty is this!



I have cut out some of the butterflies in basic black card stock.  I've die cut them using another new product.  Can you see a theme here?  LOL, new products, coming soon!   There's so many Christmas posts that I decided to avoid Christmas'ish stuff for a week or so. I've made tons of Christmas cards, tags and gift bags that have all been used so I'm a bit over Christmas creating, well unless is baking ;-)

So here you go, love how this turned out & I am so in love with this new embossing folder too! (it's called "Lace"! )

til next time,

happy stamping, colouring & creating!
