Update

Just a quick line to say I've had the dreaded cold yet again, hense no cards to show for the last couple of days. I hope to be back on track real soon as this is my 3rd day with a cold.

In between sniffles I've been working on the New release for Create and Craft scheduled for the 8th February at 2 pm so I'm afraid I can't let you see them yet.

La Pashe Design Team

I would like to introduce you all to a new member of the La Pashe Design Team.
Jackie Semark





It didn't take me long to realise that Jackie would be an asset to our team.

I've known her for a few years now and she has developed into a very talented card maker, she thrives in decoupage and more recently in stamping.

Those of you that know Jackie will also know that she has a wicked sense of humour and in past times has been known for receiving duff products when we have been on a crafting day (or so she said)

I know when the going gets tough and when we are working to demand Jackie will be the one to lift our spirits.

for those of you that don't know Jackie yet you must check out her Blog as she has some spectacular cards on there and if that's not enough check out some of her tales on her everyday life as she will soon have your sides aching with laughter.



I must also thank Toni and Karen for the work they have done as we have had some very tight timescales and have supported La Pashe all the way. Thanks Girls

Bridge Over troubled Watercolour

I stamped the bridge by Art Impressions onto watercolour paper then painted the scene in with distress inks I love watching it develop into a scene.
Most of the painting is trial and error and I find myself painting a little bit and then walking away from it for a while before going back and painting in a little more.


In this shot you can see how I have embossed the base card with the scalloped oval Nestabilities then cut out the watercolour painting with the plain oval and glued it on top.

I used liquid pearls to dot around the painting.
