Flying the Flag :-)

How are you all today ?? I hope you're all OK and looking forward to a nice weekend of crafting :-)

A lovely parcel arrived yesterday containing some of the BRAND NEW  Simon's Exclusive STAMPtember® dies so I just had to give them a run through my Big Shot !! :-)


Red White and Blue ,,, could be for the USA or the UK ! :-) Multinationally Patriotic !! haha 

After die cutting the Plane I squished it into a versacolor ink pad and then heat embossed with clear powder to give it a 'real' look, well it helps if you squint a bit while looking at it too :-D 



Thanks for looking ! :-)
