Watercolours and stamping!

Oh I'm having so much fun playing with my new watercolour brushes! I've been mixing painted backgrounds with stamps - I plan to get some card and make my own journaling cards for my Spring album, which I really look forward to sharing with you!

Stamping mad!

I have an excess of gift tags! I got a tad (tag?) overexcited this weekend after I got some great stamps free with Docrafts Creativity magazine (a recent but much-loved already discovery) and some super cheap neon pink paint from Tesco. I particularly love the contrast of the neon paint with the brown kraft paper. However it does mean I'll have to give away an awful lot of presents to use them all up.  I love these simple two-colour tags - I think I'll use some of them for scrapbooking. I've only just started to get into stamping, after my lovely boyfriend bought me a cute owl stamp from Hobbycraft a few weeks ago (he needed change for the parking meter!) I love it though - typically I've acquired lots of stamps very quickly and we even have our own bespoke wedding stamp which we'll use on our envelopes and favours! It's from The English Stamping company who are one of my favourite new finds. 

First experiments with stamping

How have I made it so far through my life without doing any stamping? I've been playing around today getting the hang of ink coverage, pressure etc and I love it! These are some very early experiments but I'm super excited about this addition to my crafty skills!
