coffee pot flowers

Hello there! How are you today? I am good. I had a good visit to coffeepot. Diana was in charge so all I had to do was to sit back and enjoy. More of that in a minute - just wanted to announce the winner of my ministencil set. random org came up with number 6 and that corresponds with Barb so if you could email me your details barb i'll send them off to you!

So today we had a choice of floral stamps, distress inks and stencils to play with - these are what I came up with. I did the red rose first then saw that Marjory had done a blue flower - so the blue version was born!


I think the stamp was called wire flower and it could well have been woodware. 


I really like the blue one - much better than the more traditional colouring.


I am back in charge next week and we have decided to turn our attention to the C word!!!! So it'll be Christmas cards from here on in!!!

I hope you've had a good day and Barb - I hope the stencils will make your day brighter!

Big Hugs
