DOUBLE TROUBLE

Hi Everyone

I hope you are having a good Saturday.

Mine has flown by far too quickly as I am sure yours will have done too.

My share today combines to challenges:

The Penny Black Saturday Challenge   (Theme = Floral Frenzy)

along with

Sketch Saturday (Follow the Sketch)

I decided a good sketch and being told what theme to work to would make for a quick card LOL!! Lazy, lazy me!!!

Anyway this is the finished result:





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3865K" Gossamer
Sentiment:  Papermainia Clear Stamps "Relations"
Backing Papers:  Papermania "Rose Garden"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Nestabilities:  Classic Square
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Diamond Stickles
Beads attached with Glossy Accents

and here is the sketch that I worked to:


and that is me for today.

Have a great evening everyone .. .. see you in the Di's snippet playground tomorrow.

Love

    Totally beeeeautiful as always!! Don't those colours work well together and I just love the delicate result. One day, could you perleeease post a reject to make us feel better :) Then again, your rejects would probably be our pride and joys so let's just forget that idea huh?!

    Snippets roll call all done ready for the morning - bar any who sneak in during the night, snort, snort!

    Hi Jules, lovely card - as usual I am totally in awe of your stitching ability and so clever to interpret the three perpendicular lines on the sketch with zig-zag stitching. Love the flower stamp too. Elizabeth x

    Hi Jules, that's another lovely card. l love the stitching, you must be a dab hand with a sewing machine. l am having a really negative day with my card, it's just not coming together. Hubby says l should walk away and leave it, try again tomorrow-maybe he's right!

    Have a lovely evening, there's snow on the way here tomorrow according to tinter-web xxxxx

    Hello Jules,

    I love your card! Bit spooky though as Ive got the same sketch sat in front of me to make a card with, will set that aside for another now! Will play later this week instead!

    I love the delicate colours of the papers and it wouldnt have been half as interesting if you'd not paper pieced it - its beautiful Jules!
