The Glittered Poppleberry

 Good morning crafty friends! Firstly I want to apologise for now visiting many on my last post, things went badly that week, so I am sorry. For those who want to visit other desks, be sure to click here ! My desk  has exploded...  See, I told you ! So I've been making a journal from scratch, its for my managers daughter. I made the binding and everything inside too. She loved it , so I am thrilled to bits. I will be spending this afternoon tidying up. The most important thing is that I have made a space for my cuppa to sit. So I hope you are all well and staying safe in lockdown #2 for those in the area. My OH finally managed to collect our wardrobe insides from Ikea, so we will be sorting through all the clothes we own. I am working throughout lockdown as I work in an essential store. I am knackered to say the least, I hope you all are staying safe.  Thank you for spending some of your day with me! Ellie x

I applied seedless preserves oxide ink using a sponge. I moved the stencil about as I didn't want straight tidy lines. Heat dried again. Grab some patterned paper that matches the colour scheme. Tear bits up. I stuck these torn pieces down with Matt mod po...
