And keep your eyes peeled in a few days time for one of my most exciting bits of crafting news ever!! There's more than one reason it's been quiet around here lately...
The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.

Goodness Alison this is exciting so Heaven knows what's to come that's better than this! I love what you have done with these stamps! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Chrisx
Those skeletons are amazing. What have you done Alison, another set of stamps on my wish list. Hubby is going to divorce me on the grounds of 'I love my stamps better than him' ...
Can't wait to see what is better than these makes!!!

Oh Alison!!
I was just over to PA and saw your pieces- absolutely gorgeous- true Alison style!!
I can't wait to hear your news...I am not doing any shopping until i hear from you-just in case!! hint hint...
huge hugs,Jackie xo
Lovely postcards, Alison! I'm like you and prefer the brown ink. Love your watercoloring around the images. Now what water colors are you using that become permanent when dry? I thought all watercolors would be affected by any type of wet media? Anyways, gorgeous pieces and so glad you're finding time to be crafty whilst in NYC. Hugs
Oh my goodness, I love your postcards. When I saw Raquel's new stamp release I ordered the mushroom set straight away, I love all the Scrapcosy sets. Back to the beautiful postcards - well done you, they showcase the stamps perfectly.x
Looking great from here, so off I go.....
I just can tell you that I LOVE each and every of your samples Alison, be in black, or in sepia and brown shades as more usual for you.
These stamps are gorgeous, how lucky you are to have them! :-)
Well, more seriously, I will also remember what you say about the watercolours paints... Happy to learn that they can not ruin the layers behind, once dry. I didn't know, I don't practice enough with my watercolours though I'd love to. I hope I have time this summer to play with them and experiment more...
Thank you Alison for you your precious advices always, and your wonderful samples. xxx
Totally gorgeous samples Alison and you've inspired me to start using my brown Archival ink too for a change!!
Hugs

I saw your postcards on the PA blog and loved the Vintage look. I can't wait to see your news... it sounds exciting!
They are gorgeous, Alison, --saw all the wonderful details over at Paper Artsy, and love all your creations, -the new stampsets are so great, all, I wish I was a rich woman :-)
You really makes amazing art with all the new stamps!!!
Hugs, Dorthe
These look great, Alison. I'm off to catch up at PaperArtsy. I can't wait to see what you created in more detail! xxx
Oh, my goodness, Alison! What a wonderful watercolor feast for the eyes! You have done an amazing job showcasing these new releases, and now I need to have every one of them! But do you do the coloring??? Lovely samples, every single one of them! Can't wait to hear the news! Hugs!
These are beauties Alison. Fabulous stamps but it's the way you've coloured them that makes the difference. I like them in the brown ink, which is strange because I always seem to stamp in black! I can't wait to hear what your new is. Have a great week xx
Your designs and colour choices are brilliant Alison, I love every one of them xxx
Just popped over and seen the cards in their full glory - absolutely gorgeous. I just can't decide if I prefer the black or brown ink but it's so interesting to see the completely different looks you get just by changing the ink like that. They are all stunning.
I like what I see so far, bright airy colors and skeletons. My curiosity is aroused.
Popped over to the PA blog. Wonderful makes. Beautifully created as always.
