Lighthouse–From the Heart Stamps

I’m not sure what it is that draws me to Lighthouse images, maybe because when I was young I used to watch the Lighthouse from my bedroom window when I should have been sleeping blinking on and off guiding the sea vessels safely on their way or maybe because I lost a brother to the sea but I love them.

This Lighthouse digital Stamp by From the Heart Stamps is amongst my favourites, it also comes with a couple of sentiments too.

I used a pitt pastel pencil (chalk pencil) for the guiding light and I think it worked well.

Bird Brew

With valentines just around the corner many of us struggle to find a card for our partners that isn’t pink or red or one that is gushing with soppiness but says how we feel about them.

I think Birdbrain Brew at From the Heart stamps will do very nicely.

Coloured with Copic Markers and Chalk Pencils, I also used some liquid applique on the froth, Buttons, Raffia and matting and layering to make the card complete.

A New Craft for me.

I have took delivery of the most sumptuous material, ever since I first got married I've wanted something for my home but have never been able to find the right size or the right look.

I found the material at Terry's Fabrics and new it was just what I needed, I need to find some trim for it and I will be giving my sewing machine a whirl.

I'm not making curtains, I'm not making cushions but I am making something that my Nanna (Grandmother) used to have.

Can you guess what I'm making?

I'm dying to get started.
