Finn Inspired Dark Pirate Canvas!



After watching the video for Finnabair's class on Wanderlust recently, I was inspired to create this piece using odds and ends from my 'must keep that I'll use it one day' boxes! I've also used lots of bits from my card making stash that I'll never use in their pretty, girly state but grunged up I love 'em! There's fabric, wood, plastic, metal, chipboard, paper and clay amongst this lot along with acrylic paint, interference colours and ink sprays. And finally a joke - what's a pirate's favourite subject at school? … Aaaarrrrt!!!! Enjoy. xxx

Attitude Is Everything!

Yet another index card! Yet another Stampotique stamp - one of my oldest ones this time! She's called Jill and has proper attitude!!! Acrylic paints as a base and lots of stamping with Archival Black and Kaisercraft clear stamps.


Enjoy the sunshine! JulieD x

Herbert Hare's First Outing

Had my eye on this Stampotique stamp since I saw the new release designs on Kassa's Facebook page - fab, eccentric character! I've used Distress Crayons to colour him and the background - these are a great product and quick and easy to use.


Hope you like him - with his inside out ear - as if he wasn't quirky enough! JulieD xxx

Monster Love

Once I got started with index cards and my Stampotique collection there was no stopping me! Hope you like this one with two of Kira's monsters - Artichoke Monster and Goat Monster, don't they make a lovely couple?!

Have a lovely weekend. JulieD

My Stampotique Index Cards

Well Kassa's new Stampotique stamps have really wowed me - Cecil is udderly eccentric!!! Here's my first play with him…


There's a sparkly crystal 'bindi' between his eyes and the paints used are the fabulous Amsterdam fluorescents.

More creations with my Stampotiques soon! Julie xxx

ps Another three arrived in the post this morning - just can't get enough of them!

Return To The Blog!

After nearly four years away from blogging and showing my creations just on Facebook, I've decided to return and get blogging again as well! My style has probably changed a bit since the last time I was on here so I'll start back with a quick Index Card! After taking a fabulous class using Index Cards with Tracy Scott I've taken to this small, inexpensive surface for creating mini works of art!


This one's using the IndigoBlu Under The Sea set of stamps and Distress Crayons.

Hope to be adding my creations more regularly from now on!
