May Queen

It's far too hot for me today so I've spent some time making this for the Happy Daze May Challenge with is 'May Queen'

Dylusion inks, stencils, the new Spring colours of DI's, Stampotique stamps.  The wings are from the Big Bee (Jo Capper Sandon), stamped onto acetate then I put some distress stickles on so in real life they are quite shiney.  I put rock candy on the crown but that doesn't show up too well.

Halfway through doing this post had a phone call from my wonderful friend Sandy Poppins, to say she was nearby, so we've been sat all afternoon putting the world to right, perfect afternoon.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and the sun continues to shine.  I'm off to AFTH tomorrow, brilliant.

    I don't like the high temperatures either, luckily down south today we've had a lovely breeze taking the edge off it!
