floral at Clarity - and some cakes

Hello Lovelies - how are you? I'm feeling good but drowning with stuff to do - its Penny's party on Sunday and then we go off on hols on Monday - so the pressure is on! Not sure I like pressure!!!
I've been in my attic for a little time today though after a run - here's one of the things I managed to make - its for the Clarity challenge which this month is Floral.


The central portion was made using a technique for making your own stamp pad for frequent stamping. The lovely Jo Rice taught me in one of her Clarity cumbria days. Looking forward to going there again a week tomorrow! I've also used a clarity phrase stamp and a stencil.

Here's a closer view:


So there you have it - just wanted to share a couple of cakes with you - the first are made by me for the Valentine cake sale we had at school today - we raised £50.10! Excellent:


The next one is not made by me but by the lovely Nicola from Lily pad bakery in Ingleton. Its for Penny's birthday party on Sunday:


Thanks Nicola - brilliant job!

So anyway - I'd like to enter the card into the claritystampchallenge 24

Thats all for today - take care and have fun!

Big hugs

Rachel xx
