Flower Shop & Chalk Talk

The sun is shining, but it's still cold here in Woodside.  What is it with the weather at the moment, all week it's been beautiful and just when I get a day off, we get rain overnight.

This card uses lots of my favourite Stampin' Up goodies, the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and the NEW magnetic platform, stamp sets with matching punches and framelits which make life so much easier and finally the Simply Presse Clay and Moulds.

Love these pansies with the Simply Pressed Clay Blossoms

I had lots of fun creating lots of buttons and blossoms with different colours (my tip of the week, smooch the ink pad to the lid and then press the clay onto the lid and work it through the clay, and wow presto coloured clay).

Mojo Monday 309 - Festive Flurry
