What a dully and rainy day it is in Manchester! Perfect for crafting though :-) so I thought I would share this card with you, which I've made today. Having received my order from Julia at Craft-Room yesterday, I was itching to try out this new stamp which I've bought, Ella Bella - this was definitely a "have to buy" stamp for me, lol. I also went to the Happy Stampers Festival at Port Sunlight yesterday and bought far too many goodies, gilding flakes being one of them - which I also had to try out! Put these two together and this is what I came up with:
I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out, so I hope you like it - I'm going to enter it into the following challenges:-
Secret Crafter- Anything Goes, as long as it twinkles (does this come under "twinkling"?)
Mark's Finest Papers - No Designer Paper (#76)
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Use a Silhouette Stamp
Ladybug Crafts Ink - No Design Papers (#40)

Hi Maria,
I've always fancied having a go at gilding. I love the effect. This looks stunning against the black paper. Thanks for joining us at Secret Crafters this week.
