Thought it was too good to last as today us fen folk woke up to a cold dull day which has now turned into rain.......yes I know we do need it. That central heating switch got a nudge this morning.......minus one in our greenhouse according to hubby, so those frosts can't be too far away. At lest that will help the sprouts on their way........mind you sprouts are a dodgy subject sometimes a bit like Marmite, you either hate them or your love them.......but they make the best bubble and squeak ever.So on to a card, this week over at Cupcake the theme is 'Thanks a Bunch'. Just right for botanical me and a chance to share a recent card for a demo day at Sir Stampalot. For those of you who live in the area, I will be doing an all day demo with them on Saturday 17th October, refreshments and special offers all thrown in for good measure and a chance for lots of crafty chatter.
The image is one of the new Hero cling stamps CO102 inked with Brilliance Tyne and Hero shadow Soft Pool. The background card is repeat stamped with Hero H2385 Old French Writing, then overstamped with one of the swirl stamps from Inkadinkado 97513. The DP is Doodlebug punched with Fiskars Threading Water. String, flowers and pearls added to finish.

Wish I lived in the area, I'd love to come and see. Love the colours together on your card. And love the twine and all the gorgeous stamping. Maybe we should call you the "Stamping Queen".
Happy crafting

This is a gorgeous card Brenda. Those colours are just my favourite and I love how you've shaded them. The script background stamp is lovely, I must look out for that one and the twine and flowers match perfectly. I too would love to see you demoing!!!!

PS I love sprouts!
This is fabulous. I love the way you've overstamped onto the image. It ties it in so well and the colours, stamps and papers used are fab.
Personally, I love sprouts but they have to have the frost on them first. Saying that - I can't abide frozen sprouts.
Have a great day.

When you say you'll be at Sir Stampalot all day, that's up to what time exactly? After I've finished running my mum around to the shops and back, I may be able to make it back from Ramsey in time.
