something a bit different

Good morning lovelies - its just been so wet hasn't it? I hope you're managing to keep dry!! My run yesterday was very soggy - I don't think my trainers will dry very quickly!!!!

Something different to share with you today  - let me know what you think.




I picked this item up at the doncaster show and have been umming and ahhing about it for a while - finally I've got it together for the crafty individuals round in the craft stamper competition - needless to say I've not won anything but still - I like it and so now its come for an airing on my blog!!!!
The papers are all from crafty indiviudals 'travels in italy' pad - they're just stunning - and I've used worn lipstick distress stain to colour the whole thing. There's some shrink plastic in there stamped with crafty individuals hearts and i've added more stamped images to the butterfly and the bottles. The wooden bits are all from crafty emblies whom I can't seem to get enough of!!!

I'd like to enter my piece into the following challenges:

tuesdayalchemy Anything but a card or tag
papertakeweekly Anything goes
cutedaisymay: Sparkle and shine
anythingbutacard: shiny, sparkly and blingy
CACBcraftyannschallengeblog: inspired by a film: the venice scenes in 'don't look now'.

I enjoyed making this piece - hope you enjoyed looking!!!!

Thanks for dropping by!

Hugs Rachel xx
