Colour me positive

 Another week goes by and I have got my CMP quote done…

The weather is still pretty chilly and the knee pretty sore so no gardening much to Brodie’s disgust! 

Come play with me mum!!!!

Slow down….

 Well, the knee is still a pain and I have become very weary of it all so I try to distract myself with art but I’m not sure it’s really doing the job!!

These are the most recent Colour Me Positive quotes…

Across at Life Documented it’s been all about mono printing and let’s just say that it’s not been the most successful time of my life!

And I have also been making a few more cards…

A simple anniversary card to celebrate 48 years 

And a few cards for the boys…

This one was to try out a new set of stamps on some scraps that were sitting on my desk…

 The two most recent ones…

Getting messy ….

 …. Is the order of the day! I signed up for the BB BASH free course- I know it’s a fun one as I have done a couple of her courses before .

The first 3 are under papers with some additional marks.

Here’s the messy stuff!

Over the next few days I have worked on the pieces and intend to make a small book for some of my favourite art pieces in this colour scheme. 

These two are the inside of the covers: scraps and fake stitches 

And then the outside 

And then I decided to weave some of the off cuts and used a tracing wheel to get even spacing for the stitches around the edges 

Some clusters 

Some of the pages are now started but not necessarily finished 

More still to be done but I m suffering with sciatica so I’m going to be taking my time!

And on we go… it’s St Paddy’s!

 …. Bad sciatica is currently curtailing my activities but I am still managing to finish some work. 

Happy St Patrick’s… smooshed inks!

New quote 

DLP

A second piece using cornflour resist papers & I’ve stamped & coloured a trig of Spring flowers. Dip pen for the quote. 

Circles

 I just wanted to try out a different style for the Jofy Jamboree 

A free stamp (peony?) and Happy Birthday onto smooshed inks background: Wild Honey/Spiced Marmalade/ Seedless Preserves and lots and lots of little circles!

Destination…. A man!

 A smooshed background, Tim Holtz stamps, stencilling, cogs & brads on a black diecut mounted on a white card…. A man card!!!
