I really love Judith's designs.

craft light?

Do any of you use a craft light and if so would you let me know which one please?

I have to put my Parchment away every year for the dark months and I would really rather not!
I need a light that doesn't produce too much heat as heat makes the parchment curl.

Thanks if you can help xx

p.s. putting this on both my blogs so don't reply twice lol ;-)

This pattern was for a challenge in PCM.

traced in black ink and coloured with WHSmith blendable pencils

made up my own border

mounted with brads onto pink card
