Hi there crafty friends, I am back after a very long break! I was in limbo for a while after leaving 'The Flower Challenge' after so many years as you can imagine. I had hoped to be able to tidy my craft room at long last  BUT instead I was kept very busy making new cards for a new Spiritual/Magic type shop which opened locally. So it seems that I have gone off in  a new direction totally! I now make cards (and other stuff)  with a spiritual/magic type theme and mostly digital type cards. I will catch up showing you what I have made soon I am hoping.  For now this is the ve ..read more

Hi there crafty friends, I am back with another Reminder card for 'The Flower Challenge' again today. Our theme this month is 'Add Spots or Stripes' as well as the usual flowers of course too. This time I decided to use spots on my card. I used an older Pink Petticoat digi pattern called Washed Damask in a Bluebell colour as the background. The spotted paper is also a digi PP one too, I quite like using them and had quite forgotten I had them! I water coloured the pretty rose die and added a few silver pearls and job done ;) See you again on the 15th with a Reminder card, (see my previous post ..read more
