WOOHOO I WON THE TOP TIP OVER AT TOP TIP TUESDAY

YIPEE, Just a lil note to let everyone know that i just found out i won over at top tip tuesday for my top tip, so i will share, i loved the look of the gem swirls on my cards but at over £2 for 2 i couldnt always afford them, i had some little swirl flourish stencils so decided to try and make my own, i placed the template over where i wanted my swirl to go on my card and made tiny holes with my pokey tool about 2-3 mm apart (depending on size of gems), then i removed the template and placed a tiny amount of glue over each hole and stuck on my gems, you can also use self adhesive gems too, but i find you can get a big bag of gems at most markets for about £2 and theres about 500 in them, easy, swirls and flourishes at half the cost, if you havent got any flourish templates you can find them on google for free, any probs then just leave a comment and i can send you the url, hope u enjoy this tip, and thanx again to every1 over at Top Tip Tuesday.
