Treat Yourself!

Docrafts currently have a fabby selection of the Forever Friends Black and Gold collection on offer for a tenner on their website and at that price I couldn't resist!  My £10 got me an A4 paper stack, two embossing folders, two sets of stamps, ribbons, bows and cardstock letter stickers.  Bargain!
My friend, Alison, got one too and last night we had a play with it together.  Tea, chat and crafting, the perfect combo!
The stamped image was coloured with Promarkers, die cut with a nestie and inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink whilst still in the die.
The papers are all from the A4 stack, some of which have luscious gold foiling, and were layered up distressing as I went with my Tim Holtz tool.
The sentiment was stamped and die cut and the flowers were made with my Nellie Snellen punch and emboss set.
I've finished off with a bow, some pearls, a few black gems and some Liquid Pearls.
