Playing with flourishes

Sorry to everyone who keeps popping over and seeing there hasnt been a posting for while. I have had a few problems with my back and havent really been very inspired to do much at all of late. Anyway enough of that, I have been playing with my new set of stamps. STAMPS? I hear you say. It is true I am not really a stamper and havent stamped for at least 5 years. When, from memory it was only anitas stamps that were readily available. But I have been browsing the net and of course asking my blog buddie, Terrie B and just love the autumn leaves flourishes and swirls. They are more me, so without further ado I gave them a try. All this acrylic stamping is so much easier than guessing where your image may turn out. I have a long way to go before I am a pro, but I enjoyed it anyway - Oh yeah except for running off to the sink every 5 minutes to clean them. Perhaps my next mission in life will be "the self cleaning clear stamp". I also had a play with these new hydrangea blooms that I now have in stock. (A pack of 60 is just £1.65). Who know I may even jump on the Tilda bandwagon next....

So I made these for mum, as her card box is getting a little empty and without a doubt, they are definately her cup of tea.

Thanks for looking, supplies are: Brads, eyelets and blooms - Poppicrafts. Papers - Pink petticoat and basic grey. Ribbon - ribbon oasis.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot - later this week there will be another Poppicrafts competition with more candy to win.
