What awful weather we had here yesterday, rained nearly all day. Well done those poor people on the Jubilee boats who were getting soaked and to the spectators who braved the rain. Not too sure what the weather is going to do today, not a great start.
Perfect weather for making Christmas cards. I have used one of the gorgeous Sugar Nellie fairies and papers from The Snowman paper pad. Lots of distressing with the TH tool and DI Milled Lavender. She has been coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and had lots of glitter added to the fur. I added some lace, a Pollycraft sentiment and made the poinsettia with Marianne dies and Core'dinations and added some pearls to finish.
