Retro, Kraft and National Day weekend.

Still with only peeks every now and again of our summer we're trying to grab some garden time where we can.  The garden is looking very lush and green which is a plus.

This weekend is our Fete National starting with a big firework display.  I'm hoping the rain will hold off otherwise it'll be a bit of a let down (hurray for the beer tent).

On the crafty side I've a couple of cards to show and tell, the first one is this little one for the new challenge with Sarah Hurley using her new Retro Home papers.  The challenge is 'dimension and texture' and although at first glance it doesn't look very much like I've used either, I've provided texture by stitching on the machine which I just can't resist doing.






















The second is for the My Stamp Box blog and the brief was to use Kraft or grey.  I got out my grey Copics to colour the coffee cup in and I love the subtle way it creates dimension.  The background of course is Kraft card stock stamped with stamps from Enjoy your Latte stamp set at MSB.






















Have a good weekend all and I'll speak soon.
