My Crafting Journey.....

I really am on the road with my crafting Journey

I am having an absolute ball right now

I have been setting myself a target this weeks is too use some old stash and not buy more

I know I brought an image that was blogged yesterday but it was 50% off and it was not really for me and it was incredibly cute :-)

hmmmm I have also purchased this week a white ink pad, but in my defense I really did need it ...

Today's project see's another Julia Spiri image

This one is a freebie if you join there VIP club

It's called Funny Hat - I wasn't sure what she was going to get turned into but I was immidatly in love and need to colour her up

I ended up making a canvas . Im so drawn towards purple's at the moment so much so , I even looked it up to see what it said, I was pretty impressed at how accurate it was and pretty much sums me up.

Having either purple or violet as your favorite color means you are sensitive and compassionate, understanding and supportive, thinking of others before yourself - you are the person others come to for help - being needed motivates you but sometimes people take advantage of you. You are a gentle and free spirit.

I coloured her using Distress Inks 

I took some purple papers and gently ripped them , dusted round the edges and adhered to my canvas board.

I adhered funny hat

Rippped a few randomn word papers (the top one being from Waitrose weekend newspaper) funny enough it was an article about missing mojo and they reccomend Sports, I think the editor maybe a comedian

I used my Andy Skinner mixed media stencil (very old stash never used before) and stenciled Journey because thats how I feel , and I also feel that this little lady is on a journey too

I also used the same stencil for number 152 and the arrow.

**stop press** More Old stash alert ~ I used my Tim Holtz Crackle stencil for the edging

I then used a star stencil (no name but old again) and also some sequin waste. The stencils were all done using Distress Oxide Inks

I punched a few circles and made the little flowers and added some punched hearts

Topped with a few sequins to finish

Felicity was here last night and if you don't know she is cat mad ~ I was on Instagram when I spotted this little cat , I showed Felicity who said she just had to have it 

"Pleeeeeaseeeeee Grandma "

So I agreed to get it for her but she could colour it at the weekend

All agreed ....Little cat purchased

This morning after she went to school I thought I would print a few of the little cat out ready for her and leave on her craft desk.
