What a great reminisce we had last week with WOYWW! It was such fun to see how long we've all been playing along. Some of you much longer than I remembered. Please head over to Sarah's again to join in again today.
The weekend flew by and there wasn't a lot of crafting time..
All I managed was some test stamping of the new stamps that I got last week..!
but it could be the lovely blue I chose to play with.
I had a sort of idea for
this is the new Mattints (minus the red) but there's only
orchid in the Princess of Wales conservatory
the trees are - slowly- turning colour, they seem late this year (and that's to do with the wet summer apparently) and the sun was out, so it was a lovely visit!
this stamp just to the left here...
but not sure it will come off!
2 layers of each colour so they are very pale still.
the one called Ash (right at the top) is very pale and doesn't show up in the photograph - it will intensify if you increase the number of times you paint the colour on.
It felt so long to wait to leave for Kew on Saturday - being a morning person that's why I like the 8am starts so much
Till next week, happy WOYWW!
Autumn is my favourite season because of the colours. Went out yesterday and it was lovely being driven so I could marvel at the colours of the trees. Bet it is lovely to visit Kew in autumn.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love the circles but when you point out about the colour it makes me think - love that shade of blue. Look forward to next weeks experiment.

Love those autumn leaves Helen. Some useful looking stamps there too. I like the overlapping circles best as well. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
ReplyDeleteI love the way you create your backgrounds with over printing. It seems so simple but its definitely a knack to create the beautiful ones you do. I bet Kew will be wonderful over the next few colourful weeks. x x Jo 🌈
ReplyDeleteYour samples are so close to Masterboards you should just keep over rinting till you like it. I love the soft colour of the Mattints (lol! I have Martinis on the brain!) and that orchid is amazing!
ReplyDeleteBetween week for me.…and knitting, of course
Happy WOYWW.

Hi helen, I love the colours of Autumn but Orchids now they are my love and have been for a long time, they are such a special flower though some of them are a bit choosy about when and where they will flower. Have a good woyww and big hugs Angela x9x
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with the new stamps and your Kew photos are fab .

I like the circles stamp too. The changing colours must be love at Kew. The leaves covering the lawn this morning are lovely yellows. All soaking wet 😟! Happy WOYWW. Angela #12
ReplyDeleteThat circle stamp is pretty cool, the blue is a lovely colour and yes! I've noticed the trees have turned quite late. I so hope next year is better weatherwise!
ReplyDeleteI haven’t heard of Mattints - what are they then? The bluey grey colours you’ve used are rather fab, useful for all sorts of themes and projects. Gorgeous pics of Kew, isn’t that orchid stunning?

Love your soft blue- greys. Beautiful Kew, love the autumn colours and the orchid.
ReplyDeleteTake care and happy WOYWW
