Hi Everyone
I hope you have all had a great weekend.
I was having an email exchange with a blog buddy and we discussed our very first rubber stamp - you know - the one that was the starting point to spending all that cash on all those others that have followed!!
Well, I decided to look mine out again and below is my first stamp - a gorgeous little teddy. He was the start of everything.. .. .. and he looks so innocent!! Little did he or I know what we were starting when our friendship formed that Saturday morning all that time ago..

To make this card I used:
Image - G-1174 PSX Stamp .. .. .. poor little fella wasn't even given a name :-(
Backing papers - Funky Hand "Huge Funky Love" download
Clear Rainbow Drops
.. .. and that is it.
I used my sewing machine to do a bit of framing and coloured the image with watercolour crayons and a touch of Promarker pen here and there.
The Rainbow Drops look a bit "misty" but I think this is just the glue I used. It wasn't quite dry as I photographed my creation and even now the glue is starting to turn clear so eventually I think they will be as they should be.
(Patience is a virtue and all that - but the sunshine was disappearing and I needed to get a photo in quick!!).

Hi Jules
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving such a lovely comment. I'm so glad you did as now I've found your fab blog! I love your work and this teddy card is gorgeous and the background papers you used from funky hand are just perfect for this little bear. Of course I had to look closely at every card to find a heart too!

He's lovely, looks quite a lot like the new daisy and dandelion set (have I got that name right?). great colouring too, and I am so in love with sewing on cards :) You asked about the flowers I use? some of them are primas, some of them are from poppicrafts, I won a scrumptious lot from them
