...yeeeehawwww... I am back! Did you miss me? *whatcha mean you didn't even notice I had gone rofl* Two days without blogging, positively unheard of I know but I have a very goodly excuse - I was on my death bed! I managed to catch a bug over the weekend and had a couple of days feeling very sorry for myself... and then spent most of yesterday kitting and prepping for my classes this weekend... so, no time to blog! Bad form indeed, I shall try to be a better blogger! Anyways... as the title suggests, today is giveaway day!
Fancy getting your inky paws on the very latest Creative Expressions Project Book? Look no further for I have one to give away! And, as a little extra, I have also added this Studio 490 Art Part piece I made for the Stitches Trade Show into the giveaway prize. To be in with a chance of winning simply click to follow me (if you don't already) and leave me a comment. Closing time and date for this giveaway is 23:59 Monday 25th February and the winner will be chosen at random and announced here on Tuesday February 26th 2013. I have had a few emails about how to leave a comment for me... tis simples: just click on the "Inky Thinkings" button at the bottom of the post and that will pop you to the comment page.
I had the pleasure of playing with the brand new Distress Paints over last weekend and this sample was made using them... they are lush, I am in lurves with them... and I love the soft and subtle effect that can be achieved with them... I even used them to lightly stencil onto the background on this piece... as well as painting the birdy, the word and the branch too. Oh and check out the ickle housey... that is a Studio 490 Embellish Your Art piece... toooo cute!
Right, I shall away... I am scheduling this as I will be in the Land of Nod at midnight when this publishes... I am driving up to Rochdale early, early today (praying for NO snow!) and I have a weekend of playing with lots of different goodies with the JoLLie StaMpeRs craft group. *and there's talk of proper Northern Fish n Chips too... what more could a gal wish for eh?* Thanks for looking, have a fabby weekend and please do check back for tomorrows Sunday Stamper.
