there's not much room inside

Hello Lovelies!!! how are you??? I hope you are well! We are back home and have had a lovely break down in nottingham with Bez (shaun's mum). We also had a visit from Shaun's sister and her children whilst there - we had a lovely day out at Wollaton hall.


This is just out side the hall with lucy and penny's cousins holly and tate.


This was our picnic spot - Jane with baby Tripp, Bez and myself.


and finally yummy icecream!!!

When i got home i opened a package from chocolate baroque and couldn't resist heading into the attic for a play - this is what i made!



The main stamp is the latest in the series of year of stamping stamps - this is the full size stamp and measure around 6 inch square. I've coloured it using distress inks and pens.



The background is created from a mop up of the inks used plus some stencilling using clarity stencils and background stamping. The final verse is from Clarity.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:




I hope you have a great friday!

Hugs
