Allsorts Challenge 329

Hope you are all having a good weekend, a lovely bright morning here but a definate autumn nip and dampness in the air. Thank you for all your kind wishes with my op - it went well and l am on the road to recovery.

Onto the new challenge at Allsorts - this week Tracy Mouse is the host and she would like to see

Sparkle

I decided to go for sparkly snowflakes, l used dutch doobadoo paste over my snowflake stencil and covered it with glamour dust while still wet, the centre to the die cut snowflake has a sparkly dome gem, the ribbon also has a thread of silver sparkle running through it too. It is sometimes difficult to photo sparkle so l just hope you can imagine how sparkly it is irl.

This week we have a lovely prize - two tickets to the Stitching, Sewing and Hobbycrafts Show at The NEC
