Time to catch up.

Last weekend I went to a class at the Stamp Attic with Hels Sheridan, I was really looking forward to learning lots of new techniques with the Tim Holtz Distress Stains and I was not disappointed. Hels showed us some great ideas and I came a away with a lovely tag book we made of all the examples we did.

These are two of my favourites.

A while back Alli gave us a link that was posted on ukscrappers to make some snowmen out of socks. I had great fun doing these. A word of warning they can be addictive. Click HERE to see the tutorial. I thought mine looked a little sad with no mouth so I got my beads and thread out and popped one on.

Two happy snowman. LOL

Finally I have been working on my Artistic License CJ page for Sarah, UKS Flo .

Her chosen style was 'Wildstyle Graffiti' this was something completely new to me and led me down the road to some interesting websites.

Here is my completed page.

I hope you like it Sarah.

I found a Wildstyle Graffiti font and use the saying 'It never rains but it pours.' I printed the saying onto Safamat, which seemed to work really well. I had not used Safamat before!

I thought this saying went well with the stencil I made using the Tim Holtz Umbrella Man die and mylar. I then used another technique that I had not tried before, using and airbrush that I have had for a while I sprayed through the stencil with diluted Caudine Helmmuth black acrylic paint.

The raindrops were hand drawn and then filled with glossy accents.

Finally and for a limited time only Bongo has been out and about.

After his busy year last year he has been grabbed out of the cupboard again and will be having a busy lead up to Christmas.

You can see him on his own blog HERE.

I hope you have enjoyed catching on here.

Thanks for looking.
