Another Trip to Craftmania, Norfolk.

 

As my daughter wanted another trip to Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park in Lowestoft last weekend, I had another chance to visit Craftmania, which is nearby in Gt Yarmouth. This time I decided to stock up on some Christmas goodies. I can highly recommend a visit if you are in the area, don't be put off that it is on an industrial estate, it just means the shop is soo much larger and the parking is free!

They have a really wide selection of Hunkydory, as well as lots of other makes. This time I took my list of Versa Fine Clair ink pads, so I could buy up some of the missing colours.

And this is the first card that I made using one of the Hunkydory Daisy Days Pocket pad images

Distress Oxide Circles

 

I was lucky enough to get some more distress oxide ink pads as part of my Mothers Day present, so have been experimenting with the new shades of beige and green - tea dye & bundled sage.

They go so well with the Kraft card blanks that I have in stock

A Rosy Glow

 

The Picked Raspberry ink pad is probably the one I use the least, so I have made an effort to use it on a few CAS cards to give a 'Rosy Glow' background to a simple topper.

It's quite a bright pink, but makes a nice contrast to the toppers and makes them 'pop'.

Also useful for a 'get well soon' card.

And this layout has helped to use up a few old toppers that have hanging around for ages!
