Shambles

The stamp I've used here doesn't say York's Shambles area, but I think it looks just like it.  I love this stamp and it was a bargain 50% off a few months ago after I'd had my eye on it for ages.    Stamped with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

Bling!

I've had this butterfly for years and eventually decided to use it.  (I may take it off and keep it again though!)   Thanks to Nikky Hall for a great ProMarker tutorial the other day on tv.  I think I may have nearly cracked using the blender pen.  Stamp is Lili of the Valley, coloured with ProMarkers (and blender).  Punched border is made with a Martha Stewart punch.  Sentiment is HOTP.
