and I have my eye on some more too! Just waiting for my favourite stockists to get them in.
they just arrived tonight (prepping this post Tuesday night) so they're still in the packets.
Well, actually I keep them in the packets so when the cling gives out (as it always does) I don't lose random stamps in the storage box. I just cut the top off for easy access.
this is a JoFY stamp too,
there's black modelling paste (the dotty circles) and more layers of distress oxide and more stamping (more circles) and then some watered down gesso...
I wanted to splatter the gesso but couldn't find my fan brush (it's here somewhere!) so used a brayer...
Not very happy with it now, so might cover up some more yet.
I'll be round to visit your desks as soon as I can. Happy Desk Day! There are of course, more Kew pics from last weekend here

Love those stamps, very whimsical. Funny how critical we are of our own work, frankly I love what you have done here.

I really like the journal page Helen, the layers and textures are luscious. Nice stamps too! Happy WOYWW. Sarah #5
Ooh, like the look of those JoFY's! Also like the way you used some others to make that birthday card - very nice, lucky recipient.
Great Journal page too - have a good week. Kew at weekend?
Hugs, Neet xx 4
I've not seen those stamp sets Helen, like the *Recharge* quote so many things you could use that one for. I keep my stamps in the packet too but usually because the majority of the time they never get inked (Don't shout at me!!) Great card & I love that continuation journal page... don't cover too much up now.

I love those colour blends, beautifully soft. Thank you for this mornings visit. Right this minute, I am not going to be sitting in the sun as it has gone awol. Have a good day. xxx Maggie (Silvercrafter) #8
I can imagine you sitting there playing around with the colours. It’s so lovely to craft but equally as frustrating isn’t it.
Enjoy it all and have a good week

Lovely new stamps, I do like the design very much! Having to make another masterboard is just an excuse for more crafty fun, eh?!
Hugs LLJ 9 xxx
I chuckled at your comment 'I couldn'y bear to cut up the masterboard'. I guess we are all the same cos I have many pieces of fabric I still haven't cut into :-)
Hugs,

Why aren’t you happy with it? As I say so often, I don’t get know you can tell!! Those pages are going to be extra thick by comparison to others in that book! You do know don’t you, that you don’t have to have a new purchase to show on a Wednesday, that it’s not the WOYWW law???!!!!!!!! Ah I slay myself.
I do like your journal page and have the same question as Julia: why don't you like it? It might be because of the image you had in your mind and wanted to achieve... try to look with 'fresh eyes' and your opinion might change - but it's a fact that some pages you don't like yourself ARE liked by others... it happens to me all the time. Happy woyww amd a hug from Holland. Marit #18
I am loving your new stamps! You will get lots of play out of them! I find we are all critical of our work but remember we are all different and I am a fan of your work! Happy WOYWW! Glenda #19
Hi Helen, loving the JOFY stamps. I store some of my stamps like that too, mainly my Card-io and Visible Image ones. Great masterboards, laughing at you not being able to cut one up! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #2 X
Nice work my dear. That's how I keep my PA stamps as well though I doubt my collection is as big as yours. Happy WOYWW, Cindy #21
Gorgeous new stash - I love the stamps and that card you made is fab - what a great flower stamp - I really like the little white highlights around the petal edges - so eye catching. The journal page is looking great too, I really like what you've done with it - I'll look forward to seeing what you add to it.
Have a great week,

Thanks for your visit last week, sorry I didn't reply but I'm here now.
Love those new Jofy stamps - have been watching the new issues with interest.
Have a good week

Super journal pages Helen and did I read you've got your eye on more goodies.

What fun stamps - I love both the card and the journal pages - you are more adventurous with your layers than me and they are fab. Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW and have a lovely week. With love & God Bless. Caro xxx (#26)
Wonderful makes with the new stamps Helen! Love that background in your journal!
Hi Helen, I'm loving those stamps and have to admit I have ordered some when I got back. Loving your journal pages and the card. Happy creative week and hope your woyww has been a good one, Angela x20x
Happy WOYWW and thank you for your earlier visit. I love the style of the flower stamp you used to create the card. Perhaps I could doodle something similar myself, as I have lots of birthdays coming up. Ali x #15
Gorgeous pages, Helen! I love your colours. Thank you for your visit, and I'm sorry you are yet another one who can't see my photos this week. It seems I'm the only one who can! I couldn't see Julia's either this a.m. on the iPad, but then I could on the laptop so I don't know what's going on - I think it's wretched google again. I'm having a job putting back all the photos from 8 years' worth of blogging after every single one disappeared when they stopped Google+. Are you able to see the photos on any of my other posts or is it just this week's one?
Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi #13
I like the stamps very much. Great card. I really like your master board :-) Anne x #16
Hi Helen, your new stamps look great fun. That's not a brand I have ever tried. Love the flower on your birthday card too. I'm definitely into flower cards at the moment, and Gorjuss stamps. Thanks for stopping by earlier, and have a lovely week, hugs Heather xx #11
Thanks for checking back on my blog to see if the photos were working. I really don't understand this, and can only hope they will come back! I can still see them. I might try another post and see if they work in that.
Shoshi
Just to let you know I've re-posted the photos from yesterday's blog post, and hopefully you will be able to see them now.
Shoshi
Great stamps - I can see why you like Jofy so much - and lovely card. I'm sure you will work on your pages until you're satisfied but I think they look fab already. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #28
Hi Helen, The new stash looks fab. I like your card and the journal page.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy WOYWW

Hi Helen! Cute new stamps - they look like fun! That's a great start to your journal page, I love the circles and the raised modelling paste parts! Thanks for your visit, sorry I'm so late! Lindart #27
Looks like you have had a lovely creative time there Helen! xx Jo
Really sorry you still can't see my photos, Helen. I've gone on a forum with a query and hope I'll get a reply soon. I think the next step may be to reinstall Open Live Writer again and see if that works... The funny thing is that I can see my photos when I go on my blog online, but nobody else can. I don't understand that at all.
Shoshi
You'll have so much fun using those stamps.
Love that master board and journal page too.
That's how I store my PA stamps too - snipped across the top for easy access. I love the Oxide flower card - and I look forward to seeing the new JOFYs in action too.
