Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors
How has your week been? I have been busy getting ready for the Open Studios event at the weekend. There have been quite a few things to sort out. Today I should be setting up ready for Saturday but that depends a bit on the weather. My hubby has taken the day off so he can help me. He did need to use up some of his leave. It's not like we can go anywhere.
I love taking pictures of flowers I have done this for years. I don't usually do anything with the photos this year I decided to try them on cards. Here is my first effort.
The backing paper was in my stash. The die I used for the corners is a Spellbinders die.
This is my own sunflower that I grew from seed. We went to a garden centre the day before they were closed and I bought some miniature sunflower seeds. They have been grown in pots on the patio. I hope to save some of the seeds to grow next year. The birds can have what is left.
I am going to put this card into the sale along with some others with my photos on. I will let you know how I get on. I am not really expecting to sell very much.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Have a great day.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie
