Hello everyone! Hope you are all well and not run too ragged by half term! Just a quick post today for 2 challenges. I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much as usual. Things are so hectic right now as me and my sister are managing my Dad's business and are going to be in the process of closing the main part of it down over the next month or so so crafting is having to take a back seat. I'm conscious that I haven't got round to everyone's blogs and also that I promised some blog candy soon- don't worry, I haven't forgotten, it will be coming!!
Anyway, today's post is for A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge and Creative Inspirations Challenge. A spoon full of sugar's theme this week is "lace" and Creative Inspirations Challenge is to use a favourite stamp.
So here is my entry. Apologies for the dismal photo but I took it at my Mum's so wasn't able to get the white background I normally use. Anyway, I hope you like it! The stamp is by Stampington, I really like it as it's so unusual. I coloured it with watercolour pencils and it's mounted on metallic cards. The papers are all by Laura Ashley. The lace was bought at a local haberdashery and flowers by Poppicraft. The swirl is a Boss-Kut die I got when I was in the US.
Crafty stash used: Stamp (Stampington); Watercolour pencils; Papers (Laura Ashley); Assorted cardstock; Die (Boss-Kut); Flowers (Poppicrafts); Gems (Joanna Sheen); Lace (local haberdashery)
