Hi Everyone
I hope your day has been good.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on my creation of yesterday. I wasn't too sure on the ribbon .. .. but everyone seemed to like it so I feel much better about it now :-)
Are you looking forward to the Olympics?
I am not a huge fan of "every sport going" .. .. but there will be some I will hope to catch.
But having said that I "am" a huge, huge fan of the commitment and dedication that all of these hundreds and hundreds of people will have put into their chosen sports in the hope of winning a medal for their country. Plus I will be gutted for those that have worked so hard for years and years who perhaps fall or stumble and then their hopes and dreams are dashed in a split second. Especially if it is perhaps their last chance to participate .. .. oh dear .. .. I've got a lump in my throat already. What am I like!!!
I just know I will slowly get drawn into it bit by bit and my patriotism will be stronger than ever.
But no red, white and blue today though .. .. I still seem to be in brown mode!!
This used:
Sentiment: Elzybells - sadly no longer trading :-(
Backing Papers: Raspberry Road
Sizzix Die: "656521" Flower with Leaves and Stem #2
X-Cut Punch: Corner Rounder
Eyelets, Button, Bead and Ribbon from the Stash Box
White and Black Gel Pen
and that is it!!
Not much to this one but hopefully you like it.
Well, I had better get into that bath. I came upstairs to get into it about half and hour ago .. .. but have ended up posting my little creation instead.
Hubby will be running up the stairs thinking I am having a little snooze amongst the bubbles!!!
Have a good evening everyone and a good weekend too!
Love
This is just gorgeous Jules,love the corset.xxx

Ooh this is gorgeous. I love the ribbon lacing - very clever and effective and you can stay in brown mode as long as you like - it's such a warm and variable colour to work with.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and make sure you get time to put your feet up.
