About Me

My photo
Hi I'm Clare, I live in the South West of England in the seaside town of Torquay. I adore playing with inks, paints and generally getting messy. It is the calm place which fits in between my hectic life whilst working as an outreach support worker, looking after my son, daughter, foster son and hubby. Not forgetting our gorgeous springer spaniel, Suzi.

Girly whirly!

Happy weekend to you all! I am infact euphoric as I have turned a corner with the lurgie and am now starting to feel semi human, even though my voice still keeps disappearing at times.  I have managed to slot in a bit of crafting this week during the evenings and thought I might use my new linking skills and enter into a challenge.


I have used Lavinia stamps zen butterfly to make my girly card.  I stamped in versa mark and used some glittery white embossing powders.



For my background I sponged and brushed on a mixture of distress inks.



I am entering this card into the following challenge  Lavinia stamps challenge #5 birthday girl

I then added liquid pearls for some fine details.


I have also just completed the second entry into my journal.  I really am enjoying the freedom of letting loose and trying out lots of different weird and wonderful ideas.




I hope you have enjoyed looking at my blog.  I shall be back at some point again this weekend I am planning to make up for not crafting over the bank holiday so will probably be spending  Sunday evening trying to scrub the ink off my fingers.

Have a craftastic weekend,

Loads of hugs,

Clare x x x
