Hi Everyone
A lovely sunny day today .. .. yay!!!
I did a "lucky dip" in my Penny Black drawer and this is the image that came out .. .. .. the ever faithful "Gossamer" stamp .. .. AGAIN!! LOL!!
That is the thing I like about my Penny Black drawer .. .. I can just put my hand in without looking .. .. do a rummage about, grab a stamp and never be disappointed with what comes out!!
So here is today's make:
This used:
Image: Penny Black "3865K" Gossamer
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers: GCD Studios "Soul Food"
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: "Swiss Dots"
Distress Ink: Barn Door
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Nestabilities: Classic Circle
ProMarker, Ribbon, Eyelets and Beads from the Stash Box
I hope you likey, likey.
Off to the washing line again now (sigh!! that will mean even more ironing!!) and then time to get cracking with another batch of favour boxes!! No rest for the wicked!!! LOL!!!
Enjoy the day everyone.
Love
Hi Jules

These flowers are great run through the embossing folder and the papers are right up my street. I'm puzzling over where the heart is though! Some of the petals looks like hearts?

Wow Jules, yet another fabulous card! Wonderful colours and I do love the stamp - it's familiar so I need to rummage here, unless it's very similar to a couple of others I have maybe? Totally agree about PB stamps always coming up trumps too :)
ReplyDeleteLove, Di xx
Di again, just realised how you used the Swiss Dots folder on the flowers - so flipping clever Jules!! Love, Di xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Jules, one of my favourite flower stamps, i think i will have to get mine out again, lv the little beads in the centre of the flower. Lv Janette x

Hi Jules, just a week to go to the big day really hope the weather is good for it.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card I love your image and those papers look so beautiful with it. hugs Shirleyxxxxx
I'm back and love this card ... the colours are just my cuppa tea and I love that stamp. Never thought of doing a lucky dip ... sounds like fun :)
ReplyDeleteI've been practicing using my sewing machine, sigh! I'm never going to get the tension right :( Your stitching is just so perfect.
Hugs, Elizabeth xx
I love this card Jules, enjoy your ironing! Pauline xx
ReplyDeleteYour papers are so great together and the layout...oh my. Penny Black flowers are always a winner in my book. You did a great job showcasing them with this card. TFS
ReplyDeletePS...I forgot to say: When I retired from the workplace, I pretty much retired from ironing too. Only SPECIAl occasions! I'm a lazy creature. And I HATED ironing. Still do! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous Jules!
