I did intend to upload some stuff earlier in the week, but firstly my laptop was playing up, meaning I had to reset after reset then reset again – ending up with undoing all changes and getting me back in…grrr!  THEN my phone screen kept disappearing Sad smile 

But I’m here – for now – and ready to upload some rainbows.  I really have had so much fun with my inks lately, and it’s been so exciting to experiment with Oxides!

My first is another Birdie card – this time for my brother. I’m sure you’ll be seeing many more of these because I have a box full of them, coloured, cut out and ready to use – as and when I need them!

This is just a journal background, firstly before spraying…

…then after spraying…

…then after sprinkling with rock salt and more water … always great fun! I prefer it in the second photo, I think.

This one’s just smooshed with Oxides, spritzed and stamped, then brushed with water. After drying, I stamped the edges with a stamp inked in Versamark ink, then sprayed, to take off a little colour.

This one isn’t made with Oxides, but it’s still a rainbow, so it fits in with my title!

Hi Cath, Charlotte (used to be Kemsley) here - good to see you still going strong! And your granddaughter is just so darn cute! I hope you're teaching her lots of stamping :D Sorry it's been a while (okay, more than that.....) - life got massively in the way.

Hope you're well :)

Love, Charlotte xo
