I've been having a lazy morning and just made this card for the fantastic challenge they have over at The Sugar Bowl! Have you seen what they have as a prize! I am positively drooling over the sugary sweet stamps!

Had a moment of ickle inspiration as to what I could do with a tiny bit of lace left over! (Must find out where to get more!) Apologies if everybody has already thought of this anyway! I just thought it looked nice and wanted to share!


I twisted it round to make a pasta bow shape:
