A tag and a Journal page.

Hello lovelies - how are you? I'm good - I enjoyed coffee pot and so did the ladies - they all liked the crazy birds! Whats not to like eh???? Thanks for your kind words - you are all lovely!!!!

So today I've got the result of my first play with my new goodies from Port Sunny - some paperartsy paints and a visible image stamp.


First of all I made up the background - I did a wash of hey pesto translucent then stencilled on some foliage and barbed wire using snowflake opaque paint. Once dry I added more of the hey pesto and this toned down the white.


Once dry I stamped the visible image flowers and stalk and added the edges and words using a visible image stamp from craft stamper magazine. I used black archival  to stamp these all. Fabulous - I think they'd look awesome on orange!!!! 

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:


Now for my latest journal page.



I did this using brushos - I sprinkled dry crystals onto dry paper then sprayed with water. The stencilling was added afterwards - the stencil is from stencil girl. I used black embossing paste from dreamweaver.


Hope you have a great time today - enjoy whatever you do!!!

Big hugs

Rachel xx
