We had a couple of days in the Lake District and I always visit The Paper Warehouse near Kendal when we go as it is a lovely shop. Last year I was lucky enough to visit on their Christmas demo day which was superb - whilst checking what was on this year it turned out I was in the area on a day when the lovely Clare Rowlands - creator & designer of Molly Blooms stamps was running a workshop. Obviously I had to go!
Clare gave us this stamped image which combines 2 of her new Christmas designs - the skater & the lamppost. Our pack also had a card with all the paper required to make this fab card.
What also appealed about the workshop was the fact that Clare uses Copic pens. I have coloured the image, used glitter on some of the white areas for Christmas sparkle, added glossy accents on the boots and I loved her use of the little white dots on the girls face and scarf.
A selection of cutting, stamping and 'distressing' with London Fog Memento ink gives this fab card. There is a picture of the inside too!Clare has also just released a great magazine, worth it for the stamps alone but it also comes with papers, buttons, ribbons and a great stamp set - click 'here' for the link to her blog page about it (& all for £7.99).
I met some lovely ladies too and do visit the shop if you are lucky enough to be in the area.
Lovely card Jill and like the sweet image and the great layout....thanks for the link also
