πŸ’› In the spotlight with Shelley Skingle ...

 πŸ’› Happy Sunday friends, please welcome the beautiful soul that is Shelley Skingle to the spotlight showcasing the wee 🐭 ones and the Angels πŸ˜‡ of Love and Light ... pure joy to see they are.

πŸ’— Please take a moment to find out more about Shelley and show her some love.
 Hi I`m Shelley Skingle from the once steel city of Sheffield, a true Yorkshire lass.
I`ve loved anything to do with arts and crafts since a small child.
 
My addiction to stationary shops drove my pals nuts { I`ve been told over the years } The crafts at heart are stamping and mixed media. I love colour and texture.
 
I`ve only just been introduced to Tracy Easson`s designs and the wee ones, by a dear friend, and I`ve fallen for them all. I can relate to Tracy`s thoughts and spirit through the designs because I too hold someone dear to my heart that I truly miss, but I know she`s there every step of the way πŸ’•
This was one of my first projects with Tracy`s designs. 
Seamus he is so adoreable. 
As you can see I`ve created a backdrop using inks, stencils and stamps then layered the piece with different elements out of my crafting stash. I`ve made sure that this wee chap is the main focus.
 Here is a watercolour background with the wee ones, just a girl and her forever friend. I`ve layered them up to give a more 3D look.
I`ve added extra sparkle to add the magic.

These two Angels are so beautiful. I just love creating small projects with them and the sentiments are so uplifting. The words are comforting.
I`ve used two different surfaces with these. One is watercolour card stock on canvas and the other is smooth stamping card on MDF.
I`ve created the backgrounds with inks and stencils. I`ve also used watercolour paints and pencils for the colouring and shading.
 
I would just like to say that Tracy`s designs have only just recently become a part of my crafting world but they are fast becoming an obsession.
The spirit they bring, the love that they show, is just so comforting. 
The time I create with them is so special.
 
Thank you everyone for taking the time to look at my spotlight, it means so much.
 
Thanks Tracy for your great designs and the opportunity to share my creations, it`s been a pleasure.
 
You can follow me on
 
Shelley
