I'm working in the extension today, not my craft room, as the light is so much better in here. My Husband grudgingly calls this 'Craft Room No. 2' as I spend so much time in here, and today, it's looking very tidy!
Last night we were working with Stampbord, and did a mosaic themed card. We are having a great term, covering lots of new techniques for them, and hopefully they are enjoying themselves. We used some stamps from Chocolate Baroque, creating a little mosaic strip using skinny masking tape. We then coloured three pieces of Stampbord, taped them together on the reverse temporarily, and stamped the image, before seperating them to put on the card. The background was made by applying Distress inks to a large block, and spritzing with water, before plonking it on the card, (technical term there!).
I love it, and it is ripe to be altered too! The drawers all come out, so I can set them out on the table if I want to. I love the segments as well, so that the pencils are contained within smaller areas. I am a bit OCD about my colour groups, so this is just perfect for me.
Don't forget to hop over to Julia's Desk to see what everyone else is getting up to on this fine, sunny Wednesday, thanks for stopping by, xx

Thank you for sharing this with us - it certainly looks like a nice light area to work. Lucky ladies coming to a class with you - too far away for me sadly.Love the mosaic idea with stamp board.
Lovely to see you, Judith. I bet your class are having a ball creating cards as beautiful as this.
I've not heard of those pencils before but I love your storage for them.
Happy WOYWW

Lovely card Judith with Gorgeous and love the butterfly as well. Wonderful box for your pencils I bought the box of 36 with a view to adding on to them as I love them as well, great way to be able to keep them in colours like that. Suexxx
That card is fabulous- I am so going to try that. I love slitting images up into squares and oblongs, so this piece is really me. Shaz
Am quite hopeless with coloured pencils but I do have a collection of ordinary lead pencils so understand your addiction! I'd love to work at that table and what a super space! Happy WOYWW'ing! Love Debbie #84
Hello love your pencil storage drawer. What a lovely name your cottage has. Hope to hold a class in the future. Thanks for sharing. Anne x
lovin the pencil storage, nice to see you back, Have a great week, Hugs May x x x
That is a wonderful card, i bet your class, had a great time - your pencil storage is gorgeous. Hope you have a great week Lou @#26
I love that mosaic background with the thin masking tape & the way the tiles echo the Stampbord tiles. The matting is super on the dark brown & I shall have to give that background block plonking technique a go. I have to confess the Polychromos are my favourites of the pencil sets I own. Your box looks super & I shall have to look out for something like it as my complete set, though in a tin, is in rather flimsy plastic trays.
