I've had a play with Craftascope's All the 8's stencil to make the background for today's card.
 

Leonie Pujol did this technique on hochanda a week or two ago - you put inks on your craft mat and spritz with water then put your stencil in the ink and 'stamp' with it.

Autumn colours

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are all well.

I love this time of year - leaves falling, beautiful colours, and hopefully still a bit of sunshine - so I didn't have to look far for the inspiration for my card today.  

I'm taking a break from stamping at the moment so dragged some of my dies out instead. The leaves are by Craftascope and the sentiment is from a Crafters Companion advent calendar. To get the coloured card I smooshed distress inks onto my craft mat and dragged white card through before drying.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-

Simon Says Stamp (Wed) No stamps allowed

 Allsorts #590 my lovely garden

Mod Squad Challenge -  autumn foliage

More Regal Rose samples

Hello lovely peeps, as promised I'm back with some more samples that I made with the new Regal Rose stamps from Nick Roberts at Craftascope, starting with my favourite. I used one of the dies in Nick's ATC Antics set to make some trellis for the roses to clamber up.

Pop-up box made using rose bud and leaf sprigs from the Lady Elizabeth set, stamped with Grey Stazon onto thin watercolour card and water-coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Markers. 

Rose Vases for Craftascope

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

The lovely Nick Roberts is on Hochanda TV again today with a new collection of Craftascope stamps, dies and stencils. I've been having a play with the stamps, which he has designed in memory of his Nan.

Using the Lady Marjorie stamp set, coloured with Distress Inks onto watercolour card.

Special Friend

Hello lovely peeps

Just popping in quickly to share another card made with Craftascope products.

Retro Fun

Hello lovely peeps

A really quick post before I dash off to work to share the last two cards I made with the Retro Collection from Craftascope.

Retro Fish

Hello lovely peeps and a very warm welcome to my new follower :o)

Well I'm not getting very far through my list of cards still to blog so I think I'll have to go with shorter posts if I'm going to get my Craftascope cards all published before the next collection launches :o)

Spaced Out

Hello lovely peeps

A space themed card today, made using various Craftascope products, including the Retro Collection

Stitched Leaves

Hello lovely peeps, I do hope you are well.

First, sincere apologies for my absence. I started a new job in June with many more hours than I was doing previously and I was rather optimistic about the amount of time and energy I'd have left for crafting and blogging.

I was up at the crack of dawn this morning (ok, so it was only six o'clock but it's Sunday so it felt like the crack of dawn :D ) so I've just time for a quick post before I head off to work.

I still have quite a few Craftascope makes left to share with you, this is one of my favourites using the Retro/Floral collections.

Disco Fever

Hello lovely peeps

Another card today using the Retro collection from Nick Roberts at Craftsascope. I absolutely loved making this one.

Floral Harmony

Hello lovely peeps

Nick Roberts has been a busy chap. Hot on the heels of his very successful Craftascope One Day Special at Hochanda he is bringing us some gorgeous new floral stamps tomorrow.

Retro Leaves

Hello lovely peeps

A completely different card from yesterday but still using the new Retro collection from Nick Roberts at Craftascope, which is today's One Day Special on Hochanda.

The collection contains a set of 8 completely fabulous dies called Retro Leaves which are now one of my all time favourite crafty items. You can get them individually here on the Hochanda site while the stock lasts (though I'm guessing this will be the first item to sell out).

Groovy Birthday

Hello lovely peeps

It's a very exciting day today for us all on the Craftascope Team - Nick is launching his first One Day Special at 6pm (BST) tonight on Hochanda TV.

Stripy dolphins

Hello lovely peeps

Just popping in to share the birthday card I made for my Uncle.

Cutaway Card

Hello lovely peeps

Just popping in with a couple of quick cards I made with Craftascope stamps and stencils.

Rainbow Socks

Hello lovely peeps

On today's card I've used one of the sentiments from Nick Roberts' first Craftascope collection - the Profile stamp set.  I just love the grungy look, I thought 'graffiti' as soon as I saw it.

Dancing Dolphin

Hello lovely peeps

 Today's card uses the Dancing Dolphin die from Craftascope.  I was quite nervous about using this one since my eBosser is getting on a bit and has patches where it won't cut through properly. For this reason I have given up buying large/intricate dies. Well I needn't have worried - it cut like an absolute dream, the waste pieces dropped right out.

Birds on Branches

Hello lovely peeps and welcome to my new follower :o)

Another Craftascope make to share with you today, using the Weeping Willow stencil.

Such a hoot

Hello lovely peeps

A fun little ATC to share with you today, using the latest Craftascope products from Nick Roberts.

Through the Maze

Hello lovely peeps

Just popping in to show you a maze card I made with one of the Craftascope stencils designed by Nick Roberts -  it's called Retro Fun 2, part of a 2-pack. You can get these and lots of other items in Nick's Etsy shop (where you get free p&p 😍) or at Hochanda.
