Hi There!

Just realised that we are

nearly in May! Don't know

whether to be happy (we have

two Bank Holiday Weekends

in May in the UK), or

terrified at the speed in which

the year is hurtling by........

Here is Hazel Harler with

a calming thought............ haha!

"I love this little bird and decided to use it

on a fridge magnet for my quirky bird project.

I started by cutting a 6" x 4" magnet from a magnetic sheet.

I covered it with white card and used

my Hampton Art stamp positioner to stamp the images.

I don't always get a clear image when

I use a stamp and I find this tool very useful

as I can stamp the image more than once.

I masked the little bird and coloured the card

with Distress ink and lightly sprayed it with water.

I used a Sheena Douglas stencil with distress ink.

I decided to stencil some Distress crackle paint

and removed the mask while it was still wet.

A close up of the crackle after it had dried.

I coloured the bird with watercolour pencils.

I decided to stamp the words on a piece of card

as the ones that I stamped on the magnet

didn't show up very well after the stencilling

My magnet on my fridge with a couple of my other magnets."

Great idea Hazel, thank you

We should all have one of these

on our fridge doors then every time

we pass it we will smile (maybe

even laugh out loud) or just

agree with the sentiment......

'Till Tomorrow
