playtime distress crayon resist

Hello Lovelies! Well it was a funny old day yesterday! I had a lovely morning - swimming with my friends Rose and Alice and then lunch with another friend Catherine - then gardening at school. Sadly things went a bit wrong then - I got home from school to find my cat licking her tail madly and she had quite an oozy bloody tail when I investigated. Anyway, the vet put a cone of shame on her to prevent her from keep licking the wound so she feels proper sorry for herself. Then I found out I had managed to miss Jenny Marples demonstrating only 15 minutes from my house!

I have been carrying on with my Tim lessons from the summer - todays make involves the distress crayon resist technique. Its a great technique - I hope you like the results!


I used a Tim stencil to do this and distress inks.


Centrally I used a Tim Holtz quote and some tim holtz punched shapes. There are also some added flowers from my 'craft box' for this month too.


A closer look. The fabric behind is from the finnabhair range.

I hope you have a good Saturday. Lucy is starting climbing lessons today! Not sure what else we are doing!

Big hugs

Rachel x

    Love those ghostly resist leaves, and the burlap layer behind the heart is a lovely touch - great card. Sorry to hear about cat and Buttons mishaps, hope the weekend behaves better for you!
