Happy Easter and God’s best blessings to you all!
Some of my friends have been using some of the new (very stylised) floral stamps designed by Jo Firth Young and I quite like them, but daren’t buy anything more at the moment…
Another friend suggested drawing similar flowers and sent me one of her sketches, which encouraged me to have a go, too. Here they are in my A4 journal.
I’ve been really surprised at how much freer I feel with a bigger page.
I’m going to enter this and my ATCs into this week’s Simon Says Stamp challenge, which is ANYTHING GOES.
I also put my name down for the KCUK March ATC swap, Paris, one of my favourite places. I don’t really make many ATCs these days, and I’m not sure if the hostess will accept them at this late date, but here are my very simple offerings.
I started with inky backgrounds I’d already made, flicking a little water on for a bit of contrast, then adding a little colour with Promarkers, Copics and pencils. The bottom one is one of my new Birthday stamps (which I love) and I’ve used a couple of the others here and there. I can see me using them quite a lot in the future!
I can’t really get all my stamps and inks out right now, because I’m putting them all away. I’m trying to downsize drastically and need to prioritise and reorganise! I may go AWOL for a little while…
Hope your weekend is very special!
