Love both your cards Nic but oh I do love your new stamp the most, I especially like how effective the pearls jewels etc look instead of just colouring the image xx
Hi ya, firstly apologies for being absent from commenting for so long - hopefully now that I have less DT commitments I'll be by more often.
And secondly, what fabulous cards - these and the ones in the other posts I've been catching up on. Love the altered mirrors as well, sooo sweet!
I would've loved a lie-in yesterday, but SHMbO came charging in at 7am pushing presents at me!! Still not a bad way to wake up, eh!
See you soon,
