The Great Outdoors! Let’s go!!!
Hi there.
Thanks for stopping by.
Sunday’s Blog a step by step and typically Gray.
This is pretty typically a Gray piece, methinks…
What think you?
Let’s start with a blank piece of Gelli Card,
Build a panel with low-tack masking tape.
Using stencil brushes and Stream, Juniper and Stonewashed,
Fill the panel with those colours.
Stamp the fabulous branch in Black archival into the aperture, before removing the masking tape.
It should look like this now….
Time to add the boy in flight.Oh! and the great outdoors.
Colour in the letters with Distress Markers and add a couple of tiny birds from the Birdhouse set.
A dot dot dot with a Micron pen will enhance the art easily and effectively.
All done.
Tired now! No flying away for me, except in my head! The first day at Catterick was amazing!
It really was. I was soooo proud of our team.
Let’s do it again tomorrow!!
Items Used:
Adirondack Dye Ink Pad Juniper
Adirondack Dye Ink Pad Stonewashed
Clarity Stencil Brushes
Black Archival Ink Pad
Distress Marker Pens

Hi Barb, simply beautiful, great for a fairly quick card, but very effective. Enjoy day 2 of Catterick, you have every reason to be proud. Bx
I will definitely have go at today's inspiration. Wish I were with you in Caterick I so enjoyed my day in Crowbourne. Don't get too exhausted just enjoy!!
Hi Barb,
Absolutely fabulous. Really love the three colours together. It is quite simplistic in design but I like that – it looks fresh. The little boy is always a winner. Have a great day today – if yesterday was anything to go by, you will all be working hard and the visitors will have a fabulous time and spending lots / learning loads. Thanks for everything. Love Alison xx
Barbara….simply lovely…that little boy gets about doesn't he!!!
Much love

I had an amazing day yesterday at the Catterick show. I learnt a lot from the fabulous demonstrations and spent too much…….too many tempting treats to be had! A super card design today, which I will try as I bought the boy stamp yesterday. Good luck for another great day today. You were in great form yesterday. x
Beautiful way of using these stamps. Hope you have another fab day at Catterick. xx
Another stunning design, crisp, clear yet wistful.x
Love this boy, from the tip of his nose, to his stocking feet. Super card. Enjoy your day. X
Love the background idea Barbara, I'd have to sub the main stamp as I dont have the boy. Hope you aren't too tired from your first day at Catterick.
Beautiful card. Love the colours.
I really enjoyed myself at Catterick yesterday. This afternoon I plan to put some of what I learned into practice. Have a great day!
Love Joan xx

I am liking the branch stamp more and more so it's going to have to fall in my basket soon lol!
I hope today's another good day in Catterick ….. I may not be able to get there but I do have the sun out and a picnic to enjoy so I shall not sulk to much today lol!
Beautiful card, I watched you demo this one yesterday, you just used a different sentiment. As you said, it's a good technique for beginners who may struggle with composition. I had a fabulous day yesterday, wish I could do it again today. Thank you Barbara xx
