Having been lucky enough to play with the Spring and Autumn Build a Wreath stamp sets from Clarity Crafts before they were released, I couldn't resist purchasing the remaining two collections and a set of stamp pens. Here is the second project I created using the Summer set.
I decided to create my first Christmas card of 2025 using the Winter Build a Wreath stamp set from Clarity Crafts. As postage is getting more and more expensive, I went with a mini make.
For this year's daily art I have decided to practise using watercolours in the Clarity Petite watercolour journals. I spend no more than 20 minutes putting together each piece and have been using a variety of watercolour media. I am following the prompts on the 365 days of drawing prompts and other art FB group. Here are my pages for the first half of January.
I am back with part two of my round up of previous ATC projects. Here are another selection using stamps, stencils and masks from Clarity Crafts. As usual links to the step by steps are below the photos.
Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday), the brainchild of Julia, who was kindly entrusted it to me to continue after 15 years of togetherness. Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.
The date for the crop is now firm - 10th May 2025 10am-4pm. A few of you expressed concerns about travelling on a Bank Holiday weekend so I played it safe. I will be able to let you know the cost once I know numbers, but I only allowed a half hour either side of the start and finish time this time so it is £20 less than last year. I will be providing hot drinks and biscuits but any cake will be gratefully received by all no doubt. Like last year, packed lunches will be the order of the day (there is a good sandwich shop and convenience store across the road from the hall) and we have the café area available to us again as well as the main hall. The location is the same as last year Penkhull Village Hall, Trent Valley Road, Stoke on Trent ST4 5JB. There is parking behind the hall and it is not too far a taxi ride from the train station.
Hope I will be able to see lots of you there - it will be the 16th anniversary of WOYWW the following Wednesday so ATC swaps can take place there for all those attending.
Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.
For this card using the Bijou Linocut Daisy stamps from Clarity Crafts I worked on a 6" x 6" white card blank and die cut into the front.
I thought I would create a mini make (5" x 5") using the Blox Retro Montage stamps from Clarity Crafts.
