<br />
I love the Easter hols, gives me guilt-free time to have a crafty play! Here I used Amsterdam acrylic paints to make a gel print background. I stamped various patterns over the print (mostly Kate Crane's designs with both Stampotique and Carabelle Studio) and added Kate's sweet Lolly Dolly.<br />

<br />
I've had fun today using one of Kate Crane's lovely, Lolly Dolly stamps, produced by Carabelle Studio. I made a bright, gelli plate background using acrylic paints and mounted the circle onto a black and white background stamped with Archival ink. Hope you like it! :)<br />

<br />
I haven't posted for a loooong time, but a little mojo came my way the other day...<br />
<br />
I made this card with one of Visible Image's new stamp sets, Creative Chaos, along with the Carabelle Studio stitching stamp along the bottom. The blue is a sprinkling of blue Bister powder, absolutely my favourite!<br />

<br />
I've had these Distress Oxides for a while now, but as I've been so busy with my Open University study, I haven't had much of a chance to play with them! I finished an essay today so I treated myself to a crafty play....<br />
<br />

<br />
I used one of the techniques that 'Sir Tim' recommends - that of squidging the ink onto a craft mat, spraying with a little water and then placing the card onto the puddle... et voila! These fab inks allow you to layer up the inks and keep the colours (more or less!) as they should be, rather than making a muddy brown mess. :-)<br />
<br />
I hope you've all enjoyed a Happy Easter, and maybe had some crafty time too!

This one uses the lovely Spiral Branch stamp and the Patio Stone stamp from <a href="http://www.designsbyryn.com/" target="_blank">Designs by Ryn</a>. The butterflies are from Visible Image.<br />

I thought I would gather up some photos of my favourite makes with these products and put them together for you to see (many thanks to my dear friend Didi!).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtx2MJeyYarX7PpqfV08kvWOxuubgk6iN_hvF_P5Ei_8iTaV4xsuivYk9ZlLSC04YxzYHZ0W5tqRlDDyBG8oHeO8WkcPN5FTOJy7c1LSEHpU-NmtaGdZjztJtMDaLNkMxVqJTbbh-QyA/s1200/Photo%25252020160331080709453.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtx2MJeyYarX7PpqfV08kvWOxuubgk6iN_hvF_P5Ei_8iTaV4xsuivYk9ZlLSC04YxzYHZ0W5tqRlDDyBG8oHeO8WkcPN5FTOJy7c1LSEHpU-NmtaGdZjztJtMDaLNkMxVqJTbbh-QyA/s500/Photo%25252020160331080709453.jpg" id="blogsy-1459414456363.9956" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="500" height="500"></a></div><p> Bister is my personal favourite, I love the natural tones of this dye and the little brown flecks give lots of texture. The little particles take slightly longer to react with water than Brusho, so you have time to play and get the look as you want it. Brusho colours are more vibrant and as they react very quickly with water, I sometimes feel that it 'gets away' from me and the colours merge too much. I use these products slightly differently, the Bister I sprinkle on my craft mat, spray with water then lay the card on top. I usually sprinkle the Brusho onto the card then spritz with water. Either way, they are fun and fabulous!</p><p>Here's a list of the stamps used:</p><p>Top left - Dylusions Background Love, Tim Holtz Runway</p><p>Top middle - Tim Holtz Flower Garden</p><p>Top right - Background stamps from Carabelle Studio, Shell from Designs by Ryn</p><p>Middle right - Tap from Carabelle Studio, Droplets from <a href="http://www.designsbyryn.com" target="_blank" title="">Designs by Ryn</a></p><p>Bottom right - Carabelle Studio background, Stampinback Poppies</p><p>Bottom middle - Viva Las Vegas!</p><p>Bottom left - Carabelle Studio Histoire du temps, Stampinback Poppies</p><p>Middle left - Various 'sea themed' stamps from <a href="http://www.designsbyryn.com" target="_blank" title="">Designs by Ryn</a> and a Tim Holtz sentiment.</p><p>Thanks for visiting!

I'm certainly not bored of these beautiful stamps, so many ways they can be used... Here I've just stamped the Hibiscus outline in Versafine Smokey Grey and water coloured loosely with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I made my own splatters in the background by tapping a loaded paintbrush over the card.

Today I made a background with Distress Inks and the acrylic block method, that is I put some ink onto an acrylic block, spritzed the block with a little water then plonked it on the card, very technical!! Next I squidged (and yes, I do mean squidged 'cos the paint had gone a bit dry!) some Inka Gold paint in jade through the beautiful Maidenhair Fern stencil from <a href="http://designsbyryn.com" target="_blank" title="">Designs by Ryn.</a> Actually, I quite like the rough texture that the dry paint gives, even if I was a bit grumpy about the paint drying out!...</p><p>Then I stamped the dear little birds from Hobby Art across the page, and coloured with Prismacolor pencils and gold glitter pen.
