Thank you :-)

Sharing a card I made today using the gorgeous rose stamp from Blooming Marvellous stamp set from Clearly Besotted stamps.  I’ve been busy with this set this weekend (yes – managed to grab some crafty time in between everything else!!) so will share a couple more cards I’ve made through the week.

Thank for everything
Stamps:  Blooming Marvellous (Clearly Besotted), Pretty Peonies, Polka Dots II (Papertrey Ink)
Card: Stampers Select White, Spring Rain (PTI)
Ink: Hibiscus Burst, Fresh Snow, Simply Chartreuse, Smokey Shadow (PTI)

I received a gorgeous gift from the equally gorgeous Steph (owner of Clearly Besotted) last week which was a sweet little Cath Kidston soap.  Guess who this cards on it’s way to then??

Have a great “rest of the weekend”.
