Crafting retreat Daventry.

Had a great time at the Oyster stamps retreat in Daventry. 3rd time I have attended the retreat with my best friend Tracy, 2nd time her mum has come along. We had an absolutely fantastic time even though we were all feeling under the weather.  The workshops were fantastic, learnt a lot. The first cards I would like to share are the cards made at Eileen Godwins workshop. 

We used a circle template to do the background then we had a choice of stamps to use I used the studio 949 flower stamp and design by ryn butterfly. I used glossy accents on the flower petals to give it a raised look. Was very pleased with the finished cards. 

Polka doodle cards. Work and play music.
