Ally Pally was lovely and busy at the weekend and it was really good to see so many familiar faces and lots of new customers too.
Had a bit of a shop on Sunday. Sue and I have a bit of a weak spot - we always try to go and see Linda at LB Crafts. She is an absolute inspiration and we always come away with a bulging bag of new goodies.
So this is what I bought - the cream flowers where a gift from Sue - thank you! You can colour them beautifully, see the turquoise one top right we did that with my new turquoise glimmer mist on the stand after buying the bits and pieces.
So today I thought I would have a bit of a play. I coloured a tag with the pot things above (they are like inkpads, you use a piece of cut and dry and apply colour to paper) and then stamped with my Hero Friends stamp and a gorgeous new swirly stamp from Barbara at Clarity Stamps. I used the smaller one on this card.
I coloured the flower with Glimmer Mists and added a gorgeous silver flower centre and brad, from The Hobby House. Tied ribbon around pins and added a flower charm, again from The Hobby House.
This is the finished result.
Im really pleased with the results, especially as Im not good at this style of card. What do you think?

Hi Julie
You did have a spend up - but I think that is part and parcel of enjoying our wonderful hobby (well work in your case!!!) This is just beautiful - I don't do this style at all but your creation is just gorgeous and as always inspiring.
