The Glittered Poppleberry

  Good Morning lovely friends! I hope you all have a fantastic start to the week, I have a week off which i plan to thoroughly enjoy and do lots of crafting! Today I wanted to talk Halloween and share some crafty Halloween bits I have been doing. I have always enjoyed All Hallows Eve, the history of it and the magical feel that night has. Now I get to enjoy it further my creating spooky makes that are great fun! Yesterday I began the tedious but necessary task of clearing up my craft desk. Then got crafty... So to begin my Halloween crafts series, I thought I would start with a simple card.  First I used two distress inks, Carved pumpkin and crushed olive to make my background. I used a wet paintbrush and applied the green ink first followed by the orange to create a watercolour effect. Next using a garnet ink from Artistry inks with a stencil from Clarity Stamp. The stencil is called a 7x7 Art stencil and is a grungy frame effect. I applied the ink using an ink blending brush...

Afternoon crafty friends! Happy WOYWW, I can't believe how this week has flown by. To visit more crafty desks for inspiration swing by and see Julia at the stamping ground . My desk isn't very busy today as I have been doing a bit of sofa crafting. So on my desk, from left to right, a project from a previous blog post in the top left corner. A pack of wet wipes, a wet wipe I used to clean a stamp with. A project I am half way through and my two new Tombo mono erasers. Nothing too exciting hehe . So today I have been painting and watercolouring and stamping. Thank you for spending some of your day with me! Crafty hugs and happy WOYWW! Ellie x
