GOSSAMER .. .. AGAIN !!!

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

  12. 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?

  21. 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 :)

    Love, Di xx

  27. 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 :)

    I've been practicing using my sewing machine, sigh! I'm never going to get the tension right :( Your stitching is just so perfect.

  30. PS...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! :-)
