Well, I gave in, lol. I was so determined I would get the things I’m committed to do out of the way before I started to play but I just had to have a little play – and intend having a couple more, as soon as I can, lol.
So here’s my entry for this week’s Lots to Do Challenge, where the theme for this week is People and Places.
I found my yummy Claudine Helmuth stamps, so I’ve almost finished another card, too. I keep forgetting about these, lol. The base for the image is Caught in Crystal, but unfortunately, you can’t see the yummy crystallisation you get the more you heat it – it really is so pretty and glistens. I stamped the image again on white and layered the CIC over the top, to define the images, then stamped again and cut out ‘La Cathédrale’ which I attached separately with toning brads. Yellow’s not a colour I often use on its own but I quite like this effect for a change.

Lovely one Cath...I bet you were you inspired seeing Neet's Paris pics? That card really tells a story.

Absolutely stunning, Cath! I've not heard of 'caught in crystal' before. Sounds fascinating!
Fab background to your stamping Cath, one of my favourite techniques! x
Cath, I've never seen those stamps before - love them! This card could not be more perfect for the challenge (joined in also!). TFS. Lynne M x
Gorgeous postcard, I love the colours :-) Lovely stamps on your desk - I must get one of those Brayers!
Ha, fooled you into thinking my desk is tidy - when you do an aerial view it cuts out all the mess hehehe
