Brand New PaperArtsy Designs - and a special announcement

I'm thrilled to have three new PaperArtsy stamp sets and three new stencils to share with you, and equally excited to announce that I am now officially a PaperArtsy Signature Designer.

This summer, I'm embracing the power of flowers with these new designs. From the garden, there are delicately-hued hydrangeas and romantic roses, inviting you to play with all the colours of the rainbow as you tint them.  

And there are some new wild grasses too, rippling in the meadow breezes and perfect for layering.  As always, there are ephemera elements and poetry fragments to complement the imagery. 

Coordinating stencils allow you to build botanical and textural backgrounds, with lots of leafy loveliness in the mix, and also work as stand-alone design elements.

You can explore the new release over on the PaperArtsy blog from 8pm European time today - Monday 22nd June - and watch the launch video in the PaperArtsy People FB Group.

The new designs are available now from PaperArtsy stockists around the world.  (They won't appear on PaperArtsy's own website for several months, so find a stockist near you by clicking here.)

Do join me either live or on catch up to hear more about the inspiration behind these stamps and stencils, and see lots of samples giving you some starter ideas for ways to use them.

I hope you'll love these as much as I do!

Happy crafting all.

I must have flowers, always, and always.

I'm a teacher for Flowers Magic Art Fest this year!

I'm excited to be one of the teachers for this year's Flowers Magic Art Fest, taking place July 12th - 31st.  Join me and a wonderful group of artists as we share projects inspired by the beauty of flowers and the wonder of nature. 

This year's theme is Roots and Wings - which feels very personal to me, as for the last few years that's exactly what I've been doing... putting down new roots and spreading my wings in new directions.

Go via my affiliate link here to discover all the details, and I hope you'll be inspired to join us for this magical creative festival.

I'll be one of ten artists and teachers all coming together to share our love of nature and flowers with you, with project classes full of ideas and techniques.

All those classes, plus bonus content, with lifetime access, plus an online community of fellow nature lovers... so much inspiration for just €57 if you book right now... a saving of €20 compared to the cost once the festival begins.

I hope you'll be inspired to come and join us - just click this link for all the details... and I hope to see you there!

Thanks so much for your company on this creative journey, and happy crafting, all!

For a tree to become tall, it must grow tough roots among the rocks.

I believe that if one always looked at the skies, one would end up with wings.
