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.

Happy Dog!

Today I have a couple of projects using Crafty Individual's Happy Dog stamp. Click on the photos of the finished samples to take you to the Hixxy Studio YouTube Channel, and the video demos of each.

  

For the card, I used Spectrum Noir Harmony Water Reactive Inks - the Cool Neutrals and Dusky Shades 3-packs, and Smoked Pearl to create a background. I used elements from AALL & Create's "Deep Focus" for the stamping.


The image is stamped with Spectrum Noir Finesse Waterproof Ink in Flagstone. I coloured it with the same inks as above, mixed with a little Frosted Pearl Pixie Sparkle Highlights.




For the plaque, I painted the image with Speckled Egg, Broken China, Pumice Stone and Ground Espresso Distress Oxides. The paper is from a Crafter's Companion Nature's Garden Forest Friends 12x12 pad. 


Thanks for popping by, and I hope I have given you a little inspiration. Feel free to follow me here on my blog, or on FaceBookTwitterInstagram or Pinterest.
