A Special Day Dress

Good morning lovely crafters.

A little bit (well quite a bit!) of glitz and sparkle today in my favourite colour combo. I fell in love with this stamp and knew that I had to have it in vellum. Lots of other ideas buzzing around in my head though, so watch this space!

Pattys Plum Poppy

Hello crafters. Hope all is well.

Today's card was inspired by the colours of my favourite garden poppy. I love the big blousy blooms of oriental poppies and to watch the bees tumbling in is just a joy! Bring on the summer!
