 What a horrible wet day !

We thought we would spread a little joy by sharing the lovely creations the ladies made this morning in the workshop.





An 8" x 8" board canvas was painted, stencilled and inked to create the background. Circle toppers were blended and stamped then butterflies and other embellishments were added as finishing touches.
We also had a lovely "Stitch" canvas made by one of our younger crafters.
