You can see a tub of Gesso, stamps, inks,pencils, blending fluid, big shot and lots of other bits and bobs!
I have been playing with Dylusions ink sprays to make some background papers,the back ground I made is the yellow/orange/purple paper to the right ( if you want to see some step by step pictures read the blog post below this one)
I then made the card in the middle of my desk using the background paper, and some of the stamps on my desk,here it is close up
I bought the stamps at the weekend when I went to a two day workshop at Art from the Heart with Kate Crane, it was a great workshop!
This is one of Kate's pictures from her blog of us all working away, that's me right down the end!
It was a great couple of days working on journal backgrounds. I went with my friend Kim and we also found time for a trip to Betty's, here's our tea!

Tea looks lovely. I have that Stampotique stamp too, the one I cll Heads in the Wash :) but I do love how you have used them with such bright colours. I always seem to use them fairly pale, in greys most often, but I love them like this.
