Badger Brush

This week at As You Like It Challenge we want to see your favourite die, and for me it's a simple stitched circle. I love the circle dies, and have them in vairous styles, including double stitched, pierced and deckled, but the simple stitch is my favourite. I love the subtle texture without taking the focus away from the image or embelishments.

Gnome Flower

This fortnight at As You Like It Challenge we want to know if you prefer flat or layered cards.  I've used my favourite layout on today's card, which is 2 different patterned papers with a ribbon covering the join, and some pretty flowers framing my watercoloured image.  It seems to be my default layout, so I'm going to opt for layered as my favourite!
