After the morning session where we had made all five of the cards I have now shown you we had a lovely buffet lunch, sitting outside in the hotel gardens, and then came in to begin making different flowers using the Arianna Blooms set.
Here's one of the cards
I just love the spidery stamens that you cut out with this one. Oops, looks as if the bottom one got squashed a bit in transporting. Not to worry, I have straightened it out now. Want to see more?
That cute parasol bows out and I can put some tissue underneath when posting out
The last two I added jewel centres to when I got home. What do you think about the black?
If any of you are thinking about any of the Oyster Stamps Retreats let me just say, we did not need to take a thing. Everything was laid out for us to use, fine nozzled glue, cutting mats to work on, ink pads, dabbers, water spritzers and on and on I could go. And let's not forget the inner man - food abundant. Forget slimming, just enjoy a day or a weekend of friendship and fun (and come away with makes like this).
A BIG Thank You to the Oyster Gang and to Heartfelt Creations for a wonderful day ... and more to come.
