Grid Cards

Evening,

I've managed to catch up with all my sample making for Creative Expressions this afternoon, and get the parcel in the post, so I have a tidy desk.........for 5 minutes at least lol.

Here are a few cards that I made last year using a simple masking technique to create the background panel.

I taught it many years ago as an introduction to Masking, a Part 1, so to speak.

I used post it notes and black ink to create the grid lines,

but it looks just as good in gold on black.

I have used an assortment of stamped and coloured images

as the focal point on the cards, 

along with some good old Penny Black Stickeroos (first two samples).

I can't believe how quickly the days come round. It's 'Stitch and Bitch' again tomorrow, my Wednesday morning stitching get together. I so look forward to it and am making headway on the cross stitched panels for everyones Christmas stockings.

Thanks for stopping by.

Love and Crafty Hugs

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you All.

No I'm not late to the party, it's the start of the Chinese New Year 2022 - The year of the Tiger.

I searched through my stash of cards to find something oriental to post today and this was what I found.

It was made many years ago using a stamped and embossed image. I believe the stamp was from Great Impressions.

I added watercolour to the image and then layered it onto a torn panel.

No late night partying here I'm afraid. I'm off to get some sleep since I'm back to work at 4am tomorrow!!! We are struggling a bit with staff at the moment (paternity leave and a case of Covid) so I worked several hours extra today and I'm shattered.

Thanks for stopping by.
