Entry to Penny Black Blog Hop
OK IT'S NEWS TIME and all change at Penny Black Saturday...the blog's had a make-over...a brand new look for another change...they are moving to a MONTHLY challenge on the first Saturday of each month. Here is my entry.
I have used two penny black stamps, Delicate Floral, which i stamped with clear Emboss stamp pad and i embossed it with white wow embossing powder, and Scented Message from J&C Creations. I have used white card and distressed white card with Distress Ink, Victorian velvet.
This stamp (scented message) i have coloured with Tim Holtz Distress markers. I coluored the stamp and then stamped it on white card. The flowers are Spellbinders Bitty Blossom, which i cut out with white paper and distressed with Victorian velvet. The leaves are from the same Spellbinders.
Have a Fab weekend

Jayne Nestorenko is Back
I have had this amazing secret that I have just been itching to tell you all, my new friend and amazing stamper and Designer Jayne Nestorenko is back in town with her own range of stamps and a brand new Website, The stamps will be released at the end of the month when the website will go live. I have been lucky enough to have had 2 weeks playing with these fabulous stamps, they are a colourers dream and although they do take time to colour the end result is so worth the extra effort. So with out more ado I will show you the first card I made with the stamps and tell you a bit more about the collection.
The collection is called Just My Imagination “Grand Journeys” and consists of 7 stamp plates - 3 images of ladies from different parts of the world, 3 background stamps and a sheet of accessories. On this card i have used the Indian Princess and the corners are from the same stamp set. You will have to keep popping back to find out the rest of the collection.
I have coloured this with pro-markers. The colours i have used are:
Face-ginger, honeycomb, apricot and saffron. Lips-lipstick red, and blossom.
Clothes-aubergine,plum, and maroon. Fusia pink and pink carnation
Corners- plum, maroon, and mulberry

Learning a new technique.
Yesterday Jacqui and I attended a fabulous course in Maidstone given by the awesome LisaB from Lisa.B Designs, we were learning to use a brayer and working with fabulous Lavina Stamps. It was a really great afternoon and we learnt alot. So i thought i would show you exactly what we learnt.
Here is the card I made at the class, I would love to say I brayed the background, but unfortunately I didn’t it was a one of a number of card blanks that was on sale at the Mobile Shop in the Hall. I did stamp it though I used Milled Lavender and Black Archival Ink to stamp the flowers, fairy and unicorn, then added Gold stickles to the Flowers, the middle was cut with nesties and matted and 3d back on to the card blank, I think it looks great.
This is my first attempt at brayering, Thanks Lisa I had a brilliant afternoon and came home really fired up.
All the items used on the card and practise piece can be bought from
Lisa's workshops are held on the First Friday of each month at
Fant Community Hall,
Fant Lane,
Maidstone, Kent.
ME16 8NN.
