GARDEN FLOWERS SKETCH

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday to you all!!

Not a bad day here at all weather wise.  I even managed to dry the towels outside .. .. with the aid of lots and lots of pegs in this strong wind.

My share tonight uses a lovely Hero Arts stamp that I got in the Hobbycraft sale a couple of years ago and I still love it lots!!




This used:

Image:  Hero Arts "H2817" Garden Flowers Sketch
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing papers:  Nitwits
Nellie Snellen Punch:  Frond
Woodware Punches:  Daisy
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Distress Ink:  Old Paper
Brad, Pearl and Ribbon from the Stash Box

and that is me for today.

Get me being brave and putting my image at a jaunty angle LOL!!!  I really struggle to do this.  Aren't I sad!!

Time now for a nice hot bubble bath ahead of hubby's lovely cooking.

Have a great evening everyone and a good weekend.  I think we are being promised some sunshine .. .. that would be good!!

Love

    We could do with your sunshine, Jules, it's been shocking here again today with more heavy rain. I have piles of washing to be dried so some windy sunny weather would be great.
    This is such a pretty card. I love your stitching.
    Hope you have a great weekend.

    The distress ink around the edge is just perfect - really subtle, I had to check your supplies list to see if it was ink or the design on the paper!!! That flower stamp is lovely too. M x

    It's beautiful - I can see why you love that stamp. It's beautifully coloured and the bp is gorgeous. It looks so textured.
    Off to Port Sunlight tomorrow and then out in the evening so won't see your post tomorrow till Sunday.
    Have a good weekend and hope you get some of the promised sunshine to enjoy.

    Morning Jules

    Your card is lovely and the stitching really adds a nice feel to it.

    I thing your flower have worked their magic on the weather, the sun has come out and not a spot of rain so far this morning.

    Have a lovely weekend.

    Fabulous Jules - super colours and the jaunty angle is just right, but I know what you mean, I struggle too. But, it works!!

    I've had the stamp for ages too and totally love it - a real old favourite.

    Washing out here today too - finally we have a breeze and some sunshine (checks behind ears for gills). Have a super weekend.

    Love, Di xx
