So! I made the cricket card as light as possible did I? Not light enough apparently. To qualify for the lower postage rate (not that low anyway) a card has to be 20 grams or less. 20 grams!!! It would have to be a miniature card with no insert to qualify for that I should think. So that's the last time I bother. I'll bite the bullet and send what I like in future.
Today's card I'm entering into The CD Sunday Challenge which this week is 'Reflections'.
Both the image and the bp are from the Flights of Fantasy CD. The swirls are a Marianne die and the flowers are the Martha Stewart Water Lily punch. The centres are some thingy's I got ages ago. I don't know what they are called but you get a bobble on each end of a short piece of thread. So I cut some in half and used them as the 'stamens' for the lillies.
It actually didn't rain here today but we've had so much lately that it's sodden out there - but at least we saw some sunshine.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

What a beautiful image Beryl and I love those gorgeous flowers and swirls. I think those bobble thingies are actually called stamens. That's what I and my crafting buddies call them anyway. I've got some really tiny ones on very fine thread that I sometimes bend in half and use for antennae on butterflies.

a very tranquil card,beautiful imge and flowers. How you getting on with the tattered florals?
postage cost have gone up so much,royal mail are making most of their money from big companies like Amazon. I've spoken to several posties and they all think not as many Christmas cards will be sent this year because of stamp cost.
We get one sheet of stamps ,first class, as a Christmas present, from Royal mail,just the one a year , I try and eck them out.
