Donkey derby and glittering pugs

Hello,

I had such a good time with these stamps, this one I stamped on the background (old book page covered in gesso, geltos, distress inks and stamps) then stamped on to card and fussy cut the donkey, colored with copics and stuck him on the legs.
perfect partner to Tim Holtz's snarky stickers.

paint samples

Good morning,

I made these  cards using some paint samples in my stash box.
Stamped a large patterned stamp over the top then punched them out, which was a total pain, but worth it. Mounted them on black and tada!

Yesterday I completed the Walk for WASTEAID, 16 miles (16.8 due to a diversion) around the Thames in London, going over 18 bridges. It started out as a walk by the end I was a shuffling Zombie.

Today I am doing a lot of sitting and not moving.
