Life is much better when you're laughing

Hello all Dee here with today's Studio 12 project.  This is something I did quite some time ago now but I've been holding off till the stamps were back in stock.  Well they are now in stock at last so here is my colourful 12x12 canvas.  There's lots of layers of paint and ink and I used stamps and masks on the canvas to give an overall riot of colour.  These are not my usual colours it has to be said, I always feel far more at home with cool blues and purples, but I wanted this to be happy and to make you smile when you looked at it, hopefully I have achieved that.

All the stamps are Polkadoodles Studio 12 and Susan K Weckesser at Studio 12. I had so much fun making this so I hope you all like it.

Washing the dust

Good morning everyone. Its Dee here with today's post and I have been naughty and sneaked in a sample made with the new Studio 12 stamps.  If we all keep quiet it may just miss her eagle eyed radar, but then again maybe not lol.  It's all worth it though, so I'll endure the wrath to show you all something made with just a few stamps from this fantastic new range.  I have to say Nikky has some lush goodies in at the moment, just one is the new CD of Emma Cannings digi stamps 'Digistamp Heaven', fabulous value for money.  Think I'd better stop before I get carried away, if you want to see all the new items just click here.

Right, back to today's card (sorry I'm so easily distracted by pretty new things), I wasn't swearing at you with the title, it was part of the Pablo Picasso quote I used.  This card was made with my cousin in mind because she loves words, text and inspirational quotes.  I used the Stamp Slab for my background with liberal dollops of acrylic paints because I wanted lots of interesting texture and movement. The stamps I used are Fanciful Flourish, Road to the City, Shabby Checkers (soo useful) and Washing The Dust Off.  They are on pre-order on the Polkadoodles site at the moment, but do keep an eye open as they are starting to find their way into shops all over the country.

Tomorrow sees the Polkadoodles challenge so pop back to see oodles of inspiration from all the lovely talented DT ladies.

I'm off now to check out the new items section of the Polkadoodles site, I spotted some cool masks while I was sorting the links. I'm doomed, there's no way I'll hold my resolve lol
