I love these papers, they're by Maja Design and the collection is called Miles Apart.

Friends of ours live in Wath-Upon-Dearne and we try to visit them once a year or so. I discovered that they're about ten minutes away from a wonderful craft shop called The Craft Box, located in a Heritage site in Elsecar (near Barnsley). It's well worth a trip, the shop has a great range of items and the staff are so friendly, they have amazing samples dotted about the shop, and they run classes.

We used to have some good craft shops locally but sadly over the years they've closed, so big excitement for me to go in a 'real' shop and be able to examine papers and match up colours, something that I struggle with online.

The alphabet dies were from AliExpress and the sentiment stamp is by Hero Arts. Card is 8 x 8 inches.

The flower stamp is by Hero Arts and comes with a coordinating Sizzix embossing folder, it's called Silhouette Vines. I love the effect of the embossing, really makes the stamping 'pop'. I added a couple of coloured pearls to the image too.
