New stash

Firstly an apology for not blogging for so long - the holiday season was busy in this household and I had little time for scrapping, so didn't have much to blog about.  But things are back to normal now (whatever "normal" is!) so here I am ...

Anyway, I was lucky enough to be given some gift vouchers for one of my favourite online craft shops  for christmas, so I had a bit of a spending spree - mostly distress inks, filling in some of the gaps in my collection.  I had a little play with them yesterday and produced this tag, which will soon be on its way to a friend of mine ...

I've used distress inks in various shades (tattered rose, victorian velvet and worn lipstick, mostly), a versacolour ink pad (raspberry) for the over-stamping using some Tim Holtz stamps, some Making Memories butterflies and a spritz of a perfect pearls mist (pink gumball).

Oohh, and since I got a nice shiny new smartphone for christmas, I've now joined the twitterati too - @JYorks80.
