Hi There

well hasn't the first half of this year just flown by. I can't believe that July is pretty much over.

For my project that I am sharing with you today I have done a journal page.

The background is done by layering texture paste and gesso with stencils. Once dry I have then repeated the process with  paint.

The face is drawn with prismacolor pencils and also stencilled over in black acrylic paint.

Memory box stencils used:

Pattern Lanthenay

rings and puddles

modern pop dots

please don't forget to stop by the shop and grab a few of these goodies. There are some real bargains in the clearance section as well as some exciting new products you can pre-order

So drop in to Bizzy Becs store

Thanks for stopping by

Happy B - Day ....

Hi everyone

I am here today to share with you a yummy stamp available as preorder from Bizzy Becs

The stamp is from Wild Rose Studio and is called Panda with Flowers, isn't she  soo cute.

I have chosen copics to colour and have used Gelly Roll pens in gold, teal, blue and red to add hilight to the flower centres and hearts.  (unfortunately this doesnt  photograph well)

The dies used are from My Favourite Things - called  'Blueprints  24'  and  Happy/ Day is from Taylored Expressions and is a stamp/die combo called  'Think Happy Thoughts.'

The little Bee stamp is from my own stash.

Dont forget EOFY Sales are on until the 30th June, there is a fabulous selection for all your crafty needs here

Also is you see something that you like drop Bec an email and if it is available Bec is happy to order in for you.

Happy Crafting
