This and that

 I had some flowers sent that had a clock face, just loved them, the only thing is there are about 4 in the packet as it is a mixed lot. So the above is my version, I am sure most of us have a clock face stamp and a flower punch, this is the result. I cut down the petals a bit more so I could shape them better and will do the edges with ink but I don't think the look too bad
 Above is my go at making my own ruler tissue paper as I think it quite pricey for what it is. I stuck a piece of tissue on a A4 sheet of double sided sticky, then stamped all over with my ruler stamps. Know I have some creases but not bothered as it is my first go. Below is some I have coloured with distress ink, tea dye I used. It will do for me
 Below again is my latest Christmas card. I stamped this image a couple of years ago and never used it and for some reason it kept jumping in my face as if to say, colour me, colour me you might like me,,,,,,,,. Well I do she has a lovely face and am sure gonna do some more, hope you like her

    LOVE the tissue, Dot - and I feel exactly the same as you. It's ridiculously expensive and if we have the stuff already, what's the point of paying out for more that we'll be afraid to use BECAUSE it's so dear! The wrinkles add character and I actually prefer them, lol. Love the image, too - I have her and a smaller version, somewhere... in fact, lots of fairy images if I ever get around to using them.

    Brilliant card Dot. And I agree with Cath, far better to make your own crafty supplies, in fact, I think it's preferable. I feel the same about flowers. love using them in my projects but bought ones are just too pricey. Only takes a little more effort to make your own :) Px

    Hi Dot
    I love those flowers, seriously they are special.
    I like Tissue Tape but it is fun stamping (and staining) tissue paper, something I do quite often. I've not come across the A4 sticky sheets so must look out for that.
    A beautiful Christmas card.
    Happy Hallowe'en to you

    Your tissue tape looks fine to e but got to thinking about creases in it - I think it would look good when creased. Am going to find a ruler stamp and then get cracking - thanks for the tip.
