The British weather is ridiculous at the moment, I burnt the top of my head in strong sunshine (ouch! 😡 ) on Monday and then Tuesday we were treated to rain of monsoon proportions ⛆⛆☔, so much so that play was suspended for a short while as the green was flooded.
Home yesterday and have just been outside (in the sunshine) to hang out the washing - and I needed my coat! The wind is really cold here on the top - I bet those a mile away in the valley are wearing shorts and T shirts!
Anyway enough of my weather reports - here's my make for today.
Appropriately done in the England colours of red white and blue - the firework stamps are by Hunkydory, inked in Majestic Blue and Crimson Red.
The sparkles were done by using Glitter embossing paste through a fireworks stencil.
The red and blue Bakers Twine just wrapped round and tied into a bow to finish.
This card was made for the lady who was my Junior Vice President when I was England President - we became good friends whilst working together and she took over the reins in February. (Should have shared before now😳!).
Am sharing my make at Alphabet Challenge blog where the theme is G for Glitz.
We stayed on for a couple of days after the series finished and here are a few pics of pretty Jersey from the ton that we took (and one of the team who dug in and performed brilliantly coping with all the weather that was thrown at them - and retained the trophy for the third year in succession!!) #TEAMENGLAND!

Lovely card especially the sparkle and so nice of you to make for your successor.
Great card and lots of lovely sparkle...good for new year (when it comes again)! Beautiful photos of your trip to Jersey...somewhere I have never been...it looks lovely. Congrats on the England win again! xx
I have never been to Jersey but it does look lovely Viv and great that the team retained the trophy. The weather has certainly been strange. We went out to a bit of local theatre this evening and it was performed outdoors, although there was some cover for the audience and separately for the performers. It has been really hot and humid here all day but the minute we arrived the wind blew up and as the evening progressed it really did get extremely cool, and could have done with a jacket on. Anyway on to the beautiful and sparkly card and am loving the red, white and blue and your friend will have been bowled over by it..sorry, just couldn't resist that..lol. x
