Designs by Ryn Stamps, Darkroom Door Stamps and ... Brusho Paints.

Morning all you little Bloggers and Followers...thank you for popping over to my Blog today.
You will never guess the TWO Brusho Paint colours I've used for this card..... Black and Lemon! 
Here is how I made it....Sprinkle your Brusho Crystals onto your craft mat (NOT too many).. spritz with water so they mingle a little... then drag GLOSSY card-stock quickly through the paint.... let it dry and stamp with Black Archival Ink.......easy. This card is 8"x 8".

One Stamp and a White Ink Pen!

Oyster Stamps have Designs By Ryn Stamps in stock NOW and I'll be doing demonstrations using Ryn's Water Droplet Stamps and Brusho Paints at the Oyster Stamps Christmas Open Day on Sunday 23rd November Rochester, Kent.
Both of my Rochester, December Workshops will be featuring techniques using Brusho Paints .. bring out the gloves!

We will always Remember....

Rochester November 2014 Workshop Group 2 - The Results.

Hello everyone.I think you will be able to tell from these pictures that we all had a great time last Saturday, at my Group Two Rochester Workshop ... HUGE Class.... 28 of them! I had trouble keeping control...  The Group One Gang, from the week before were bad enough !
I have never laughed so much whilst blending distress inks, or trying to!
A truly fabulous day. Look at the results.

 

Some pictures were too dark to share with you and I forgot to take a picture of Barbara's  cakes before they were eaten! ... but those that I have Blogged today are, I think you will agree ... Fantastic! 

Thanks Ladies, it was Rock''n roll all the way! 

Here's to the next time 

Just another quick thank you to Bibiana, for allowing me to use her beautiful designs for one of my workshop sample cards.. everyone loved it !

Morning all, I have the names of The Oyster Stamp Blog Hop ....
Neet, another DT member, went through all the blog comments!
Well done Neet... This is what she posted on her blog;
"Oyster Stamps Blog Hop - Winners

Well, it took me ages to go through the blogs and work out who had entered every single one of them. Almost 30 of you had achieved this so I spoke to Graham just now, who is at a show in Doncaster, and asked him for two numbers.
The list I had was then searched for names corresponding to those numbers and
Yvonne (Life's Too Short for Working) and
Anita    (itsamistry Design Studio)
Were the winners.
Congratulations girls you can arrange for your prizes to be sent to you by contacting Tracey on Monday or through the week."
