Trying again..



Well, every time I looked at the photo in the last post it got darker, so I thought I'd make a similar card in brighter colours in the hope that it would make a better pic. Not an easy task, might I add, when I was shunted from pillar to post by a plumber, sons wanting food and husband wanting opinions.
Anyhow, here it is. I've used the same method of punching for the circle border..


The strip was made in the same way as THIS one.

Ok, I'm off to clean the grout dust off the bathroom tiles, polish the taps and admire..
