Mystery Bag

 Back again with something else made using items from the Mystery bag mentioned yesterday.  I discovered that the  dies which I didn't quite understand are actually for cutting a large speech bubble, using the width of the card.  Also amongst the contents there was a really cute llama with a matching outline die so I've combined these with some dies from my collection for another card.  I've also had an idea for one of the little stamps which isn't my normal style and that one will be appearing in due course.  I'm quite enjoying the challenge of using items which wouldn't have been natural choices for me, although the llama is one which I would probably have bought and the speech bubbles could prove to be more useful than I'd initially imagined.

  8. That llama is so cute and love the speech bubble. I was flummoxed when I first saw it over at Deb Hallet's YouTube, but when you see it on the card it is such a great idea, and I love the scene you set up in the background Val. x
