Whitby Inspired Tag

 Hi friends, 

I hope you are keeping well.  Well,  I have to say that this week must have had wings on because it certainly flew by.

I have had a week of non-stop crafting. I love it!!!!  I blitzed the house on Monday, so I just had oodles of time left for crafting, I definitely think that this is the way I am going to proceed in the future.

It seems like the more I craft and create, the more INSPIRATION I have do you guys find this is how your inspiration works?

So today I am sharing with you a cute little Halloween tag that I made.  Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! in fact, I think I prefer Halloween to Christmas!  

Each Halloween we take a trip to Whitby in the UK.  For those who don't know, Whitby is the place that inspired Bram Stoker to write the AMAZING Dracula novel.  It's so beautiful and Gothic, and twice a year they hold a Gothic festival known as GothFest, where people dress up in all manner of wild and fantastic costumes.  And of course, Halloween is one of those times.

So today's tag was inspired by a postcard that I bought last time we visited Whitby.




this was the postcard inspiration.

Distress ink & Oxides (Tim Holtz and Ranger)

Black Soot


Mica Sprays (Tim Holtz and Ranger)

After the outstanding results I received with the DIY CHALK PAINT , if you read my sideboard , rocking chair or toy chest posts, you will have seen the amazing results that the chalk paint made. So this time  i thought i would test out a milk paint recipe What you need: 4 parts milk powder 1 part bicarbonate of soda 1 part pigment 6 parts cold water Patience  The method is pretty simply. All you need to do is mix the milk, bicarbonate of soda and pigment powders together then add the water and stir well. Leave the paint to sit for 1 hour then stir again and paint. (I know, i know you probably will want to get painting you project, but if you can wait – you will get better outcomes - try watching an episode of  Once Upon a Time... oh lord, my sister and i are addicted) The milk paint dries quickly so once you’ve started using it and be careful not go back over areas, as you can wipe the paint back off. Even though it is touch dry in about 15 mins, if you’re p
