My homework and class projects from Lisa B Designs Workshop

Morning all,

As promised here's my round up of the cards and techniques from
Lisa B Designs workshop last Friday.
We used Lisa' s new stamp sets from the Floral Collage series and Imagination Crafts stencils and their Stencil paint which I've been itching to have a play with since their release.
I've also used a Crafters Workshop Fragments stencil, Burlap Bits, which is a dinky size of 4 x 4" I love it!

Other items used include VersaColor inkpads and WOW embossing powders.

The first card I started on Friday and once home I added more detail and embellishment.
I've used Imagination Crafts stencil paint in Mallow and Lime Green with the Honeycomb stencil and a touch of Diamond Sparkle. The floral stamps are from the Clematis Elements set.

I then used the Poppy Elements with Boysenberry and  Bamboo VersaColor, this was my take on samples Lisa and Kirsten showed us at the class.

Lastly inspired by the class a design I came up with at home using stamps from the Pimpernel Elements set, the Burlap Bits stencil and Lime and Rose stencil paints.

Back later,

On my desk today...

Happy Bank Holiday Monday to you all.
For the first time in weeks I've managed a reorganise and tidy up of my craft area.
I store a lot of things in labelled boxes.
There's a couple of smaller boxes in which I've gathered items for future projects, as I think of ideas I put things together ready for when I need them and so I don't forget!
There's boxes with all the "ingredients" for up coming workshops and demo's, these are either work in progress or ready to start on apart from items I've been sent to work with.
I've even got a lovely oval folding table to revamp which was kindly given to me by one of my workshop ladies and I really want to tackle this during the summer months.
My desk is by folding doors onto the garden with the sun streaming through and I can get the best of both worlds when I open the doors.
I've got my rocker armchair here too for my break times long with my Nespresso machine and TV, although I listen to music and the radio a lot while working.
Today's desk features some continued work from my time on Friday at my good friend Lisa at
Lisa B Designs workshop day and some lovely
Imagination Crafts goodies.
Fabulous!
So without further ado I'm going to enjoy the sun and crack on with my crafting.
Thanks so much for popping by today.

A little bit of Imagination...

Afternoon Everyone,

Nearly the Bank Holiday Weekend, do you have anything nice planned?

I wonder if the weather will be kind to us...

Part of my DT work for Lisa B Designs includes playing, I mean working!
with amazing products from Imagination Crafts.

Here on a 6 x 6 canvas I used their Grunge Elements stencil with
 Inkadinks sprays and Diamond Sparkle.

It's great sometimes to just play and see where we end up, this is where I ended up with this.

No overthinking just going with the flow...

Hope you like it.

Have a lovely evening, back soon.

Have a good day, back soon.

The subtleness of Brusho's

Wednesday already...
Hope you all enjoyed a fab Easter without overdoing it!

A make from a while ago using the tiniest amount of Brusho colours, very diluted and a
Sharon Bennett, Hobbyart stamp set, Wonderful Day.
Brusho and stamp set available from Lisa B Designs.
This shows a much softer side of Brusho and the versatility that can be achieved.
I use these little pots of intensive colour far more than I ever thought I would and enjoy experimenting and creating with them a lot.
The opportunity to be completely random with them or apply more control if desired is what appeals to me.
I'll leave you with the Wonderful Day card this Wednesday...

Have a good day,

Friday's sneaky peek...

Glorious day today,
Some of you know I'm taking some time out for some much needed convalescing after an accumulation of health issues that have really taken their toll.

Things are still ticking along never the less and I'm pottering and creating at my leisure and making a few changes here and there.

It's good to have this time to reflect...

Inspiration from a friend for future arty works
"I'm working on a Brand New Ending!"
and this is just the Begining...

My workshop ladies are being hugely supportive at this time, as they always are.
I do love the crafty time I spend with these genuinely lovely friends, away from so much negativity.
We laugh, chat and chill out learning from each other along the way...

Anyway today I'm sharing a sneaky peek of my make for the lovely Lisa B, to see the whole thing you'll have to pop over to my tutorial over on her blog here lisabdesignsinspiration.blogspot

I do hope you enjoy a lovely weekend whatever you're doing.

Thanks for popping by,
