Bloomin Marvellous…….a card & some news!
Hi there, with the madness of Christmas on the way, and things taking off for me in the crafty world, I’m guilty of neglecting my blog a little bit.
I set myself a challenge at the beginning of the year (sort of a New Years Resolution, but not if you know what I mean), anyway it seems that I am well on the road to achieving my goal. I have been accepted as a designer for a magazine and have been busy making projects for them. All in all to date, I have had three commissioned projects to work on and have really really enjoyed the challenge.
In the mean time, I have also made a few cards for family and friends, one of which is here. I made this back in October for my sister to give to Mum for her birthday.
It was my first foray into using texture paste, and on this card I have used it through the Clarity stamps brickwork stencil.
It was also a good excuse to try out my new stamps (at the time) from the JOFY range of designs at Papersrtsy.
Thanks for popping by, see you again soon.
