Crafting with Sue


Yesterday my friend Sue and I grabbed a few hours crafting together. This was the result of my endeavours using her stamps and the techniques we learned from the wonderful Barbara Gray of Clarity Stamps dvds. I'm still having trouble with my brayering but its getting there!
With Clarity Stamps, being clear, placing them properly is a doddle - I now wish ALL the stamps in my collection were clear. The moon stamp wasn't clear and so that was a lot more hit and miss - Sue was really much better at placing hers correctly than me but I managed this one ok.

  7. Oooh Karin! I'd be there like a shot as I'd love to meet you. Sue and I weren't very serene I'm afraid but we did laugh and get covered in ink which was immensely satisfying. The thing I most love about creating with others is the encouragement you get to go in directions other than your own. Sometimes their presence is all you need to nudge you along a different path x
