April's Stamp Club

Sorry for the long absence, blame school holidays, my mum visiting from the UK, an Icelandic volcano eruption etc, etc. Am hoping to have more time to stamp now as I have given up working for a living and am hoping (read as dreaming) to be a kept woman!

It's feeling so good to stamp again, have lots to share, April's stamp club was great fun. I went for simpler cards this month, that all used the Extra Large Two Step Bird Punch, which can be found in the current Mini Catalogue, to show its versatility, and we masking and sponging techniques.

Mojo Monday Challenge

This was the sketch provided by Mojo Monday

I decided to set myself a challenge, and use more than three colours on a card and because I never use them, decided these had to be from the 'Bold Brights' family. I must admit these colours scare me and I shy away from them - it was because of this I purchased the Kaleidoscope DSP from the new Summer mini. I'm not sure at all about this card, but it was fun to work with such bright colours, I may try it more often - but don't hold your breath!!!
