Hi Crafters,
I think the lovely weather we've been having here in the South has turned a corner, it's not looking as good for the next few days - I will enjoy the cooler nights though.
I've been making a series of hobby themed cards for my stall covering various pastimes.
Both cards are using a Woodware Stamp called Casting The Bait and I have added the Silhouette 'FISH' cut file using the positive and negative for a different look. The first card is quite a clean and simple design for me, the second has a bit more going on with some embossing and die cut grass borders.
