Friends and some quirky Ken Moody artwork

Morning Peeps, time for our new Allsorts challenge and this week Lynn is hosting her first challenge since joining the team and her theme is 'Friends'. This weeks winner will receive some lovely Art Deco stamps.

Also below I can now share a few of my shares which showcased on Hochande recently for Kim Moody's latest release of quirky stampes which are now available to buy from Chocolate Baroque.

I decided on a tag, acrylic paints and crackle glaze, texture paste, gilding wax, Penny Black Butterflies, the largest stamped onto vellum and cut out to decoupage and a really old sentiment stamped embossed with detailed gold powder. I remember using this in a class many years ago and it was so popular with the girls and those visiting the shop that day that so many orders were placed that it cleared the warehouse. 

Sadly it's long since been discontinued but I thought it very appropriate for Lynn's theme and also one that has come to mind many time in recent weeks whilst I have been struggling health wise and my team mates have helped me get through.

Make it masculine

Morning Peeps, time for our new Allsorts challenge and this week our host is Ellie who would like to see 'Masculine' creations. Our prize is from Bee Crafty.

Writing my own post solo as its been a better week, seen a new neurologist private of course, seems the only way to get things moving, an increase in the not so nice meds so might be a bit of a back step to lal la land but if they work long term have to go with it.

For my bird card I used stamps from the lovely Bev at Bee Crafty along with Distress Oxides also at a super price as well as the lovely funky border stamps. I sent this off to her and she told me her Mum spirited it away somewhere.

I seem to be making a habit of being late with DT work this week, here's my mid month Penny Black and More and Stamping Sensations mid month pieces......the lifts working again, but oh so slowly!

Moonlight song

Morning Peeps, so who forget to share their Chocolate Baroque post Saturday? Hubby helped me do the one on the CB blog there but I totally forgot I needed to copy it here as well. 

All of these cards are the Bird ones I created back in November for the December Hochanda TV shows  and to be honest on reflection I'm not really sure they got made as my mind at that time was total mush!!

All details of stamps and techniques can be found over on the Chocolate Baroque blog.

And the following are the CAS 15 minute cards which are on the post here.

Roses and yet more Roses

It's time for our  new challenges at Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More where our themes are 'Fabulously Femine' and 'New Beginnings'. As always there are wonderful prizes to be won at both. 

My post is out of necessity short as explained in my Allsorts post yesterday and I am still receiving some help with them as I still have some cognitive issues, so keeping things simple sharing my work but not going into too much detail.

Wishing you all a wonderful crafty 2019.

Hearts and Flowers

Morning Peeps, time for our new Allsorts challenge and this week Wendy is our host with the theme of  'Hearts and Flowers'.

A new post with the assistance of hubby, 22 pills a day means la la land prevails and the cognitive skills are slow to return to normal plus can't shake a heavy dose of Christmas flu, but on good days still making a passable attempt at trowing inks and paint at card, doesn't really matter if anyone understands what I'm actually saying does it, the dogs know that I mean!!

Some parchment craft and a crackle glaze piece, can't explain sufficiently to hubby to give details of what I actually did to pass on to you all, but sure lots of you will know and Wendy will get the top one just fine and as I did that especially for her that's all that matters.
