Phoenix Inspirations

I have been creating with Graceful Garden again and this is what I have come up with - I've used Petal Garden DSP for the background and used some to stamp my rose on to.

The demonstrator's name is  Julie Kettlewell  and her blog is well worth a visit. I'm quite excited tonight - tomorrow I am running a fundraising event. It's a make and take and the charity is Make A Wish. Hopefully lots of people will turn up and help raise lots of m...
