A country bike ride

Hello lovely people,

Oh, I did miss my little craft room while I was away and it was lovely to be back in there colouring and creating on Sunday while Dr. Hubby played on the PS4 :-)

I hope you all had lovely weekends too!

And now it's time for a new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday where our theme is...

USE AN ACTION IMAGE

We are sponsored by Zlatoena's Design with a prize of 2 digi images of the winner's choice

I was over the moon to finally get my hands on the Go Kreate die shapes that I have wanted for about 2 years so they had no sooner hit my doormat than they were out on my craft table and being put to good use!

Now, I have lost count of how many times I have said this recently but this is the first outing for this cute stamp which I have had for many months!

I was all ready to add some pretty flowers to this card but to be honest they didn't really work; the outer die shape is not actually that big and the image is a fairly large one, so flowers would just have made the card look too crowded.

So, I just settled on adding some teeny butterflies instead.

  5. It's absolutely perfect as it is Kat.. no flowers needed - and looks so good on that shaped card! The string/lace and butterflies provide the perfect embellies.. and of course, you've chosen perfect papers to match!

    Glad to have you back although it does sound like you had a wonderful time both on the slopes and off! And no, I don't have an extra day in the week - I've just been on a roll lately!

    Big hugs
