A ripping good time!

Morning guys, I hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend.
I'm breezing in at the last minute with my LIM card for the current challenge which is 'Tearing'.

 

I've had this idea in my head for most of the week but didn't get the opportunity to get into the craft room until yesterday. The 'tearing' element is very subtle and forms the bands of colour on the centre panel. Nice and simple to do, especially if you use a long post-it note!

The image is Em's Mixed Media Flowers from Stampingbella and the 'sentiment' is a very old Technique Tuesday journalling stamp which I found on eBay. I coloured with Distress inks and added plenty of Stickles. IRL this looks lovely, but hasn't photographed well.

That's the end of the crafty bit of this post but if you want to stick around here are a few pictures from our mini-break in Somerset. We stayed at a lovely pub called The Woolpack in Beckington, near Frome.

Frome is pronounced Froom, to rhyme with broom, and is a pretty town with a gorgeous little arts/crafts centre and a great arty vibe.

One of the highlights of our break was a visit to Stourhead House.

The house and grounds are stunning... and the naughty cream tea wasn't bad either!



 

 

Another highlight of our few days away was an evening with Frank Turner and his band The Sleeping Souls. We hung around after the concert and were lucky enough to get to meet and greet with Frank!

And of all the things that I could have said when meeting one of my musical heroes what did I actually say?
'Ooooo, you're tall'

Have a good weekend everyone!
