All in a row by Rachel
Hello there!
Rachel here today with some more makes from the Kim Moody stamps featured in one of December's shows. This time I am sharing the house stamps - this first one features Gran's house that I stamped multiple times and then highlighted a small area by colouring it.

Take Flight - by Magda
Hello,
shall we take a good flight into the new year ? Well, I start wishing to everybody a Happy New Year with this journaling page.
The step by step will help you if you like to create a similar page
1. On a gessoed page, spinkle Distress Acrylic Paint Stormy Sky with a cotton buds for the sky
2. For the ground blend more green shades of Distress Acrylic Paint
3. Stamp with Archival jet black different hot air balloons of Steampunkery into the sky
4. Scribble with a wooden stick white Acrylic to emphasize the air and the moving clouds
5. Stamp in black the sentiment Take Flight of Steampunkery
6. Stencil the numbers 2021 and fill them with Distress Paint Abandoned Coral using a wooden stick
7. Blend dark green and brown of Distress Acrylic Paint on the foreground and stamp in black partially and randomly the lace of Steampunkery
I hope you will now have a go and post your creations, hugs
Magda

Bright and Cheerful Flower (by Christine)
Hello everyone, today sees the first of three posts this month by our Guest Design Team member Christine Patch. She has created a colourful card to inspire you.
Christine writes:
May I start off by wishing you a very Happy New Year - let's keep our fingers crossed that it will be a considerable improvement on the year just finished, even if it might take a bit of time!
I decided to kick off my turn on the Blog with a very bright and cheerful design to be added to my journal.
I chose one of the designer papers and added some additional stamping to give it more detail. I used a Versafine Clair in a toning purple to add some butterflies and hatching.
Having picked one of the lovely postcards for a mat, the lovely large flower stamp allowed me to choose strong bright colours as decoration. I decided on Memento Tuxedo Black ink as I wanted to use Alcohol Pens for the colouring. I stamped two of the butterflies on white card and one on the same postcard for a point of difference. Glossy Accents added dimension to the bodies.
I found a wooden button in my stash that was the perfect colour and added that as an embellishment to the flower centre. I used the same flower stamp to edge the postcard and then the designer paper to bring it all together. Finally, I added a sentiment that I think is so pertinent to us all: Live life to your own design.
