Christmas Paint Fusion

Well I just couldn't resist it!!! And I had to get the new range! Love them. The Ivy is so useful using it with my painted roses as a filler on th ecandles...they are in the post I put on earlier.

Here are 2 pictures of my christmas toppers I have painted ...not made them into cards yet but will be doing!!!

Truely Rosey!

Here is a card I made this afternoon from a topper I painted at my craft group. I love these roses and think they make a stunning card with a simple card layout. Let me know what you think!

It's a bit distressing really!

Having been making my christmas cards over the last 4 weeks I decided I had had enough and needed to do something a bit different!

I went to a demo at Poynton Garden Centre and saw how to use alcohol inks. It was something I had seen before but never really bothered with it. However once I saw how to use them in conjuction with stamping and distree inks I was hooked.

Here is the card I just made. It is quite a different style than I am used to but I think it is something I could quite easily get used to!!! I used my Natures Wonder stamps by Creative expressions for the images and the background to the topper was done with the alcohol inks dripped randomly onto the blending tool and dabbed on.

Anyway enough of my witter...here is the card

Keeping up with things

I was asked earlier today if I have a blog and I forget I have...I have not kept it going as I should do so I am going to try and update it as often as I can.
Those of you who know me on Facebook and on the docrafts website will know I have made many cards over the summer and also have been madly painting using my new favourite crafty technique.

I actually can't believe that my summer holiday is nearly at an end and that next Thursday its the start of a new school year and the start of September!

But with it comes the fact that Harrogate show is therefore getting close and also my birthday (although at my age the less said about that the better).

I will try and add some more photos of stuff tomorrow so be patient with me and if you have any tips of how I can improve my blog please let me know!

I just love Paint Fusion

This is becoming my most favourite hobby. I just love that I can get good professional looking picture despite me being unable to draw or paint til I had a go at this.

Here are some of my pictures and cards made using paint fusion or folk art style painting!

Painting again!

This is a candle I have done. Front and back of the candle is shown.

Well hello again bloggers!

I forgot I had even done this but I have to say I need some help in making my blog look nice. Once I get there I am usually pretty ok with technology but just need a gentle push in the right direction!!!

The candle you can see is one of my recent creations!
I just love this paint fusion technique and keep looking at things I can paint ....and I mean items round the home.

Any way must get on

See you all soon
