Thanks so much ...

Just a couple of thank you cards using the gorgeous free stamps in Papercraft Essentials Magazine issue 168.  So pretty and lovely to colour, I used Promarkers along with what I think is called the eclipse technique using the Lawn Fawn Scripty Thanks die and co-ordinating card stock in layers.  Hand stitched onto black cardstock. My faithful old Dymo machine for the sentiment.  Some glitter on the central flower, butterfly & pearl to finish.

I would like to enter these into the following challenges -
Creative Inspirations - Spring

Allsorts Birthday Challenge - Bright Colours  (I Won)!

Happy crafting love Jane x
