OH! dear


Without the help of Bev i found using the distress inks much harder than i imagined she was so good but i must practice the blending more ..i think if i practice enough  i could get the hang of it but oooo i have a long way to go ..anyway crafters try and ignore my coloring lol
I have used  my K& Co pad..My latest cute daisy may figure and punched out flowers..the lace was a bit from my stash

Smashing Day

Well i really must make a decent card today ..Yesterday was just fab i had a day out at the Hobby House at a workshop run by the mega talented Bev Rochester oooo that lady is one fun gal and the talent well its awsom..I went with my friend Net  of course  she was a bad influence as always and i spent tooo much cash lol lol lol, ok it wasnt all her fault lol in fact both Bev and Net reassured me that buying on the day saved me the postage i would have spent ordering when i got home lol lol ..weeeelll we do have to have everything dont we girls  lol lol lol . The demo was everything i expected and more, such a help and such a laugh. I have always wanted to have a go with Distress ink painting i looove to see it when it is done well, soooooo today i am going to have a go with my daisy may figs ...please check back later for my offering.
