A Karen Clare Workshop and her Fabulous Clocks !


Good morning all you bloggers!
What a fantastic day I had yesterday.  I went to a Karen Clare Workshop, along with my best crafty pal Karen Buckle.
We loved every minute and I created the Clock I'm sharing with you now, plus a few Tags.
Karen Clare is famous for her 'Clocks' so pop over to her Blog for a look when you get time!
We saw some old friends and made new ones, as yer do on crafty days out!
Karen supplied us all with the Clock Kits and the materials necessary to complete our little 'Master pieces'.
Alcohol inks.(Lettuce, Red Pepper, Butterscotch and a dash of Cranberry) some blending solution, a Tim Holtz Stencil and Stamp plus Black Archival Ink and some Rangers White Enamel....... Tick tock! 
My thanks to Karen and all the ladies for a very memorable day. Roll on the next Workshop!
Thank you for looking at my blog today. I'm going to put a new board up on my Pinterest site called 'Clocks' because I know I'll be making more!

Sweet Poppy Stencils Christmas Baubles, Distress Inks and Micro Beads.

Hi Bloggers.. as promised a Sweet Poppy Stencils Tag to share with you.
I love these Christmas Baubles.
 Here's how I made it. I attached the Stencil to my White linen card stock and coloured the image through the stencil with Distress Inks.


Remove the stencil and dry the inks with a heat gun.  

After cleaning the stencil I attached it back into place and taped it firmly down again with some lo tac tape.  


Apply Translucent Paste  then very carefully remove the stencil and cover the image with clear Micro Beads.



Leave the card to dry overnight .... don't be tempted to touch!
Thanks for looking today... Another Sweet Poppy Stencil Tag soon!
