Thats how this week has been really - a little bit nuts. I have been a bit unwell with an infection and it has halted my progress.
It has given me time though to catch up with some of the swaps I am taking part in. This postcard I made for UK Stampers Forum Postcard Swap.
I used a set of stamps by Sheena Douglass for this. First I put Spiced Marmalade onto a craft sheet and spritzed it before dragging the card through it. I then stamped the images and text using an Archival Black Ink Pad. To add extra colour I used Aquamarkers and a waterbrush.
I love Autumn and I think these colours sum the season up perfectly.
Other challenges I am entering are :
Crafty Cardmakers - Autumn
Make My Monday - Autumn Colours
Crazy Challenge - Add an Animal

UK STAMPERS TAG SWAP
It's been a long time but I am so glad that I have refound UK Stampers Group on Facebook. It has some great monthly swaps and I decided to take part in some. This week I am sharing my tag I made for the September Tag Swap.
First I stamped a music note background from a stamp by WOW! Embossing Powders. I then stamped and coloured the flowers with Spectrum Noir Pencils before affixing to the tag. I did the same with the birds. To made it look a bit distressed I edged the tag with white acrylic paint.
I hope the receiver will like it...!!
I am entering the following challenges too

Junk Journalling - a new obsession!
Its been a while since I've had time to post,but with the summer holidays now a distant memory I'm slowly getting back into the craft room.
One of the most fun things I have found is Junk Journalling. There are lots of groups on Facebook that hold swaps and I have been dipping my toe in the water.
I am very much a beginner but thought I would share some of my photos from the most recent swaps I've taken part in. I would love to hear from you if you love Junk Journalling too!
