THE DANDELIONS ARE BACK

Hi Everyone

Well all this sunshine we have been having (in-between the snow showers) has woken up the pesky dandelions!  Mr Heart's least favourite flower.

He tries so hard to remove each and every one of them from our garden .. .. but of course once they are in full bloom in other people's gardens the seeds blow across like confetti in the air .. .. and he's never happy about that.

But once "I" see my first dandelion then I immediately think of one particular stamp in my collection and simply have to colour it up .. .. this one .. .. ..



This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2070K" Frequent Flyer
Sentiment:  LOTV "Simply Cute Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Nitwit Collection "Cherish"
Stamper's Anonymous Layering Stencil "THS032" Flourish
ProMarkers
Distress Ink:  Tumbled Glass
Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
Glossy Accents
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and the latest new sketch from my rectangular sketch library.


My rectangular sketches are very sparse at the moment .. .. but I am enjoying building the collection up.  You will find them, along with my square sketches, at the top of my blog.  Feel free to use them if any of them take your fancy.

Catch you again soon.

  4. A fabulous card Jules and another lovely sketch too. If we took all the weeds out of our back lawn there wouldn't be any green left!

  5. Aww he's a cutie, I love the stencilled background as the swirls remind me of blowing the dandelion clock away. Strange how we all view them as pesky weeds in the garden yet very designer in crafting and home decor... sweet card that evokes memories :) x

  9. A super card Jules, a lovely stamp - so cute.
    My youngest son walked into my greenhouse with a dandelion clock in his hand, just about to blow it - I nearly had heart failure but hubby managed to get him out just in time!.
