Coffee pot - distress crayon fun

Hello there! How are you? I hope you are well and happy! I am good - a little tired and emotional - I have to take the cat to the vets this morning for her operation. Not looking forward to that but so many people have said she'll be fine - so I hope you're all right!!!

Yesterday it was my turn to do coffee pot - I chose to make cards using a distress crayon watercolour resist technique. Here is one of the cards I took along that was made using the technique.


I used distress crayons, inks and crayons. Also fluorish stencil from Tim Holtz.


This is the one I made to show the techniques.


And here are my very happy ladies with my lovely mum in the middle! They did enjoy it! So glad and their makes were fabulous! 

I have a small giveaway - just leave a comment to enter! I will draw the winner at the weekend!


Big hugs

Rachel xx
