Cranes on Kraft

I kept things simple for this card with a pair of cranes on kraft card.

WOYWW 826/46: Assessments Ongoing

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday), the brainchild of Julia, who has kindly entrusted it to me to continue after 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch. 

My desk shows the latest stash arrival from Clarity.  I invested in a couple of the Stamptagious stamp sets (thought Jan would appreciate the hares), as they were launched on Clarity TV last week, along with some Groovi plates and papers.  I made the most of the extra 10% discount code that was in place last month.

I know it's called Uluru rather than Ayers Rock!

Memories of my childhood bedroom, sharing with my twin sister.

A strange prompt - I can't believe that it is April already!

Sorry I didn't get round to visiting until the weekend - I saw snowed under marking Y8 assessments and getting samples made.  It is now the turn of Y7 assessments so it may be the weekend again before I get round to everyone.

We had a lovely meal out on Saturday evening for Mother's Day.  Myself, the boys +1, Mum, brother, brother-in-law and niece and family.  It was great having everyone together at the same time.  Mum loved her gift from Tilly Tea Dance's Etsy shop.

Stay safe and happy WOYWW.

#dailyart2025: March Part II

 I am still going well with the prompts over on 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and Other Art.  I work in a Petite watercolour journal from Clarity Crafts and use Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils.  Here are my drawings from the second half of March. 

I really struggle with stair cases with open risers.

I love to lose myself in a good book.

For my late father and his love of all things Flanders and Swann (A Transport of Delight).

If penguins need woollies, it must be cold.

I could have been more controversial, but decided against it.

I used to share a bedroom with my twin sister.

A fun end to the month. A quarter of the way through 2025!

Rainbow Miniature Cranes

I thought the miniature cranes which are part of this new stamp set from Clarity Crafts would work well in my signature rainbow colours - what do you think?

Easy Does It Oriental Crane

I paired some of the new Crane stamps from Clarity Crafts with one of the Oriental Pattern stencils for this card.

Japanese Ideas and Inspiration

 As Japan month draws to a close on Clarity Crafts Social TV, I thought I would share some of the projects created using the Floral Panels, Floral Crescent and Geisha & Waterhouse stamps.  Links to each project are below the photos.

On a marbled background (see HERE).

Japanese Landscape

 I decided to have a quick play with one of the new Landscapes by Barbara toppers that I received a a gift with a Clarity order.  I mixed and matched some of the Treescape stamp sets and added a geisha for Japan month.
