    Oh my goodness Chris! What Amazing colouring! Absolutely amazing!!!!! And your sky.... I definitely need you to share some tips next time I see you! Hope that's not too far away,Julie x
    (my lace was held with a touch from the tape/glue runner,most stays on the dispenser but the thicker areas of lace take it,I taped the ends round thr back of the embossed front then trimmed the bulk away) hope this makes sense,x
