About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Day 87 - Easter Treats!!

Evening!! After a very rushed post last night (which was mostly due to the quantity of wine drunk at our lovely Easter family meal) - I have a little more time tonight. And I have been playing with one of my non-chocolate Easter Treats. And that would be my Spectrum Noir Vintage and Metallic Sparkle Pens. As well as making my usual colour chart, I have also been doing some colouring.
Ages ago, I bought a couple of "Daisy Mae Draws" Ready to Colour Art Books from the Hobby House. This image is from the "Days of Summer" book, and I have used Peacock Blue, Hearthside and Sage from the Vintage set. I also dipped into the other sets, using Red Berry and Holly Leaf from Autumn/Winter, Rose Quartz and Moonlight from Spring/Summer, and Sterling Silver from the Metallics.


I intend to make it into a card, so also used some watercolour card to make a couple of background pieces to tone in for matting and layering. I ran out of time to do it today, so will hopefully have time another day.
