Hello.
Today I have used the blue from the Scotland flag for my card (Brilliant Blur from Stampin Up).
Not my favourite volour but I'm quite pleased with it.
The stamps are from damselfly crafts and the artist Libby Walker.
The story behind the stamp is in Glasgow's coat of arms.
There's the tree that never grew,
There's the bird that never flew,
There's the fish that never swam,
There's the bell that never rang.
I've had such a great week. My daughter got 5 grade A highers and is going back to school for her sixth year before hopefully going in to study medicine!!!! I am so proud.
Thanks for looking,
Claire xx
