FYI #28 and WMS #94


Just a magical (if unreal) combination of colours.  A very different picture to the one that is outside my window at the moment - grey and dark.  I know it's nearly winter but the weather has changed so quickly - last week it was near 30C.


So here is my entry for these 2 challenges.  I was stumped with what to do with the strip down the middle so used a flourish as a border.  It didn't leave a lot of room for a sentiment but just got one in.

  2. Gosh, what a stunning entry! Your flourish border works so perfectly with that ornate label die cut. And I love the punched butterfly--looks great in these colors!

    I'm so sorry your local resources are not better. I am so fortunate as to be within 5-20 minutes of two independent stamping stores as well as Michaels, Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, and Archiver's. If you ever visit my area I'd be glad to take you on a tour!
