I obviously spend too much time watching telly!

*note: this is the second post of the day. Scroll down for the stampotique blog hop"


I admit it I am hooked on watching create and craft channel. I watch it like other people watch daytime pulp telly. I've watched Stephanie Weightman do her one stroke painting so many times now, that I thought I must be able to do it, so I decided to give it a go.

no practice, no special tools, just my trustee poundland non-stick mat, normal acrylic paints and quite a nice flat paintbrush (from a childrens set, probably from a supermarket)
I am entering this for One Layer Wednesday's Inspiration Challenge.


I chose to use the Kraft card to represent the wood background, and obvioulsy the yellow and white flowers.

I am also entering this for the Kraft Journal's "welcome summer" challenge
