WOYWW 648

 Wednesday  - another WOYWW  - desk sharing day. 

Now I may have intimated last week that I would have some crafting to share with you.... not so much!

But I did try out the new distress ink pads and one of last week's new stencils 

they're gorgeous colours, I do love a deep purple!

I used one of the purple sprays to create some splashes too.
and I also stamped out the Lynne Perrella images as well

they do stamp out very well -  and now I have some ready to use in projects at some stage

As some of them have vaguely Christmas theme I might use them for cards... at some time in what should be the not too distant future!!  


Last week's trip to Kew started wet and ended gloriously sunny and pics can be seen here  



Catch up with you soon,  happy WOYWW

Glad that the rain went over at Kew Helen. Love the new colour - I haven't used mine yet but will have to get it out now I've seen your journal page. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #4

Oh I have been coveting the Lynne Perrella stamps myself, as I have seen some fab ATCs using them. I have two sets in my basket on some site or another but can't quite pull the trigger on them. I'll probably find they are sold out when I finally do decide. LOL! So me. Love the deep purple and as ever, the Kew images,

Happy WOYWW

Happy WOYWW. We are certainly getting some heavy rain showers here. One minute it is almost black outside, and then the sun comes out. I haven't been able to ride my bike for weeks. Yes, I love the new Distress colour too. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but going to look for some Christmas card projects that it can work with. Ali x #6

Love that gorgeous bit stencil and the deep purple is a beautiful colour - it matches the image well. The Lynne Perrella stamps are fab, I love her style and could see them making great Christmas cards.
Hope you have a great week,

I decided I didn't need another purple, Wilted Violet was strong enough for me - then I went and bought the new one - but only the Oxide and its refill. Glad you catalogued your stamps.

Oh I love deep purple too, that is simply gorgeous. New distress inks you say? Where have I been?

Nice to be back at my desk after the trauma of hand surgery, not completely fixed as my wrist is jolly sore and my thumb isn't moving fully yet, could be a few more months more but I can do most things again just need to be jolly careful. BJ#15

Thanks for your lovely comments Helen. It means so much to me to feel loved by so many friends and I'm sure it has helped in my recovery.
I really love the purple flowers on the top card...my fav colour.
Hugs,

Loving the colour of the new ink and the stamps are gorgeous but then her ones always are. I really must get some of the older ones out and use them. Thanks for reminding me. Sending best wishes for a lovely creative woyww, Angela x17x

Julia Dunnit said...

You’re right, that purple is really lovely, such a wonderful rich colour. Now I may have a need. I really like the folksy llama, what a great stamp! Mind you, as per, I wouldn’t have a clue how to use him! Frosty mornings always make me think of you getting up and having to get the bus…brrrrr.

I like Lynn's new set of stamps, good idea to keep a batch ready to use.
What a great ending to the day at Kew
Have a good week

Fabulous purple flowers Helen! Thanks for sharing your Kew visit. The colours there are gorgeous and I love your close ups.
The silhouettes remind me of Far Eastern shadow puppets.
Take care and happy WOYWW

Oh yes I love that purple. Thanks for your visit. Lynne stamps have a LOT of detail, but I always enjoy the finished pieces. Have a great week

I LOVE your purple flowers, Helen - isn't it just the most glorious colour? And those fabulous stamps... I'm really tempted by those - they look very Indian and would look fabulous coloured with vibrant colours. I'm really tempted... You do find the most gorgeous stash!

Thank you for your visit - so glad you liked my cards this week, and thank you also for your good wishes for my hubby's health too. He's now got a date - 26th Nov.

Happy WOYWW,
Shoshi x #18

I do love those Lynne Parrella stamps, I'm having a hard time finding them here! But I will keep trying. I also love that purple Distress Ink, it will go on my Christmas wish list! Your page is very pretty! Thanks for your visit, sorry I'm so late...Lindart #23
