Rochester, September 2014 Workshops. Group 2 - The Results!

Little Bertie came along to my Workshop last Saturday. He was poorly and his mum didn't want to leave him 'Home Alone'  We all made a fuss of him cos he is so adorable. The vet had to take some blood from him so the bald patch is where the vet had shaved him first! Bless! .. He is much better now, thank goodness.x
Here are some beautiful people and some lovely Art work from my Group 2 ladies that came to my workshops last Saturday and Sunday .
Happy, happy weekend!

Brilliant days, brilliant Art Work. I was as high as a kite, running around making sure they were having a good time!
 Plus... we had cakes and a quiche made by the fabulous Barbara Cleggett!

Back soon, thanks for looking today.

Stamping with Brusho Paints

Just a quickie....

Sprinkle, sprinkle..... a not so little SU Butterfly!
Gently mist your stamp with water, not too much... sprinkle on Brusho Crystal Paints in various colours.... then mist with water again. Don't over do it, it should not be dripping... than stamp on to watercolour card.

Back soon ... Playing with Sweet Poppy Stencils today! 

Sweet Poppy Stencils and Brusho Shimmer Sprays

Hi everyone. I've been playing with Brusho Shimmer Sprays, Brusho Paints and Sweet Poppy Stencils, plus some cling film from Tesco!(could not get the shimmer to show here)
Sweet Poppy Stencils, along with the lovely Lucy Ellis, will be back on Create and Craft TV on the 16th September.... be sure to tune in. The stencil I've used here is Zen Thistles.
I had a great time playing with this technique. See the technique here, on Anjas Blog.

.

I love this technique, two more backgrounds here that I need to make up into cards!
I asked Anjas if I could teach this at some of my workshops She kindly said yes!
So watch this space for more samples using other sprays and mediums!

Thanks for looking today.
Back soon.
