Friday Freebie Winner

 Hi Everybody,

This is a lovely day and Ruby and I are going to go walking later. I like it better once it has cooled down some and it is much better for Ruby too.  I have now started to leave the doors to the back of the house open so that Ella can wander outside too and she loves to sit in the sun under the Buddleia tree. 

The draw for the prize has been done and the name today is ...

Denise Bryant

please can you email your postal address to 
christina@card-making-magic.com
and I will get it in the post to you straight away. I would be happy if you could let me know that you have it safely and I hope you will enjoy playing with the set.

More tomorrow ...

Playing with glue ...

Hi Everybody,

So after tidying my desk I found these flowers lying around and decided to use them on a really simple card.

I also had some coloured glue in my glue box that was going hard and I used that to trail some worm like creatures on my background.

While it was still wet I sprinkled it with gold glitter and then let it dry. 

Then before adding in the flowers and leaves I stamped the sentiment at the top. The panel has been added to a top folded card to make a quick and simple design.

This one has just had some glue dripped horizontally on a panel and sprinkled with clear glitter and gold sequins and allowed to dry.

I stamped the sentiment and rounded the corners off and added it to the base card for another quick and easy card.

I can't really say that I like either of them but at least it got to use up some of the stuff on my desk.

Don't forget to join me tomorrow on Craft Stash Facebook Live with the new collection Beautiful Baubles

More tomorrow ...
