I hope you are all keeping dry and safe from the elements.........this week has flown by with lots of hic-cups along the way, phone system and PC going down, but two of them lol......Saturday was Mum's 98th birthday and like the Queen, it has spread over three days, Friday saw a buffet for 6 visitors, Saturday saw a buffet for 8 people and today I have my neighbours coming for tea....... so I really should make this quick and go to clean up and bake again.
8 x 8 card
Craftwork cards 'shabby vintage' papers (bought at craft show)
edges painted with metalic gold
Flowers wild orchid
Cheery Lynn Fanciful flourish die
