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.

Another 40th blog

I've been longing to craft all week but unfortunately my back has been excruciating and instead of crafting I've been looking at everyone's fabulous work. On facebook I've seen some fabulous work using Brushos and Swirls. Brushos are now available at Bee Crafty.

Hermine Koster does some fabulous work with Brushos and the card featured in the link inspired me to have a go. So tonight dosed up with meds I braved it into the craft room.

 

I used a slightly different technique to Hermine. I used salt on the card to mask off and created the swirl pattern actually in the salt before adding the brushos.

 

I then used stencils to add some further interest to the background. I stamped my main image and then some inkylicious rain drops and water drops and finally added some glossy accents.
