It really is a fab guide and your end result is lush. I'm just so used to doing all my designs freehand. I will deffo try this though. Thanks :o)

Hi Carolyn, for the stickers I just used scraps from scrap booking (lol) and Tina I didn't free hand because it takes so much longer - constantly waiting for it to dry and keeping the lines neat etc. (not that mine are perfect) :)

Great guide but one question - Why wouldn't you just freehand this design and cut out the middle man of stickers? Or have I missed the point?
