Hand Crafted Memories

I recently bought a few stamps from Lili of the Valley and this week I got around to stamping and practising the colouring techniques I learnt at their recent workshop. I have fallen in love with this little stamp, so much that I ended up making four cards up with him. The thing that surprised me was how each card looks so different but the main difference is only the colour combination.

They say practise makes perfect, so I've been practising. I needed some cards for babies that are due to arrive over the next couple of months, and I recently bought this stamp from Lilli of the Valley . I was trying to resist buying Flex markers but have now realised that to get the effect we were taught at the recent workshop, I do need them. I still need more practise I think.  

On Saturday monring I wne to the open day at Lilli of the Valley and attended a workshoip to learn the correct techniques with my Promarker pens.  I've never been shown and always thought I did pretty OK, but now I've been shown and had time to practise I'm enjoying playing with my colours. We were shown how to colour using the lovely P om Pom image, I have since made it up into a card. Today I will be colouring with plenty of coffee breaks and Bank Holiday television viewing in my craft room. My Do Not Disturb sign is well and truly on display today.
