Trimcraft Demo

Hello. Well, as promised, here is one of my cards from my demo day at The Range in Kilmarnock. I was sent loads of Trimcraft products to use on the day and this card features stash from the Winter Woodland range - super cute! The image is from the glittered decoupage pad and the twine, gems, pearl and flowers are also from the same range meaning everything co-ordinates perfectly.

I was kept very busy showing folks how to put the decoupage together and how to add those all important finishing touches.

One lady, who had a pot of emulsion in one hand and a sample of wallpaper in the other asked me if  they matched, how much paint would she need 'for a small bedroom' and did I think it would look nice!! 

 

DigiStamp Boutique - cute robin

Hello.  Remember last Sunday I said I had some exciting (but a bit scary) news to share? Well, it was today! I did my first demo' for Trimcraft at The Range in Kilmarnock. And, you know what? It wasn't really scary at all. Crafters (and folk that are just curious) are such lovely people. I will share more of my adventures, and some cards from the demo, tomorrow.

So, tonights card features an image from The Cute Robin Collection over at The DigiStamp Boutique. I coloured with Copic pens and kept it fairly clean and simple.

Apologies for the lack of visits and comments, I will catch up tomorrow, promise.
