WOYWW - Will It Ever Feel Like Spring ?

So we have had a few sunny days but we have not made it out of coats & jumpers yet - it feels like it will never be warm !
And also it poured here for most of Sunday !
I hate it when we have rain here in Wales at the weekend & my parents in England have a lovely day - I get so grumpy !
And of course it rains here endlessly so I am often grumpy !!

So here is my grumpy journal page - gloomy colours & grumpy comments - thought it might get it out of my system !!
I have watched people doing masking with stamping but not really tried it myself - so I printed out the words - then cut the letters out & used it as a stencil.

Then used the cut out letters to mask & stamp over - I liked the effect & would try it again but I used repositionable spray & when I lifted the letter they stuck & torn the page !

As this was a grungy sort of page it didn't really matter - but for something which would need to look nicer, I'll have to find something else to stick the mask down with !
All suggestions welcome !!

And I also ventured down to The Range to seek out the new Home to  Nest range - I had seen it advertised & with various family birthdays & Father's Day combingk up I am looking forward to making some nice cards !
Mum & Dad both love their garden & the wild birds so the designs in this pack should be perfect !

Have a great crafty week ! Ali x
