Hi friends Its November already and cold and windy here in Scotland. So more reasons to stay in and create! Ha. As if I need an excuse. This month at The Flower Challenge we are incorporating spots or stripes into our designs. I added some striped paper with the beautiful sweet peas by Altenew, gold heat embossed and water coloured with Mijello Mission gold paints. We are sponsored this month and there is a prize! by Top Flight Stamps whose store sells a variety of stamps by companies such as Hero Arts and Crafters Companion as well as some smaller companies. Looking forward to seeing what you create!
