Romantic.....

Hi there....hope you are all doing well this fine Saturday morning!  January is nearly done with, and did you notice...the days are starting to get longer?!  Not necessarily brighter, but at least it isn't dark until 5 oclock anyways.  I don't drive at night anymore, so it definitely makes a difference to me.


Today at Stämpelkällan we are showcasing stamps for this week's project...... a Romantic Dinner Setting.  My time was a bit limited, but I still had a couple of napkins to dress up, sooooo..... here I've played with this pretty little stamp (GS5) on fabric.  This is much easier to do than you might think.  The secret is to be very light when applying your copics, barely touching the fabric.  Make sure you wash the fabric first, and then heat set your colours with an iron when done. 

I've quite enjoyed colouring on fabric (see my previous post here)....now I just need to find more items to colour.   Now, f you'd like to see some more romantic valentine ideas, have yourself a look at the rest of the team's creations, where you are sure to be inspired.  Happy crafting!
