Wow, this is only my fourth post in August! As you can tell, I've been distracted by summertime fun and haven't been spending too much time in my craft room.
My garden is suffering from lack of weeding--obviously that's not where I've been spending my time either, and working on this card made me feel a tad guilty LOL!
Still got a ton of new stamps that I got recently that haven't seen ink, but I think you'll all have to wait till September to see them used, I'm going to take it easy through these last few weeks of Summer and enjoy the sunshine while we have it.
Hope you are all doing well, love seeing your comments and would also be interested in hearing what is keeping you motivated crafting at this time of the year too (or alternatively, what is distracting you...).

This little cutie is a Bildmalarna image available at Paper Jewels, called Tossa Garden. I coloured her up with copics, and then did some stitching on the edges of the main image and dressed it up.
The background that looks like lace is made using a CHF background stamp in brown stamped onto the beige cardstock. The green bow is embroidery thread.

I'm back. Hopefully to stay this time...
ReplyDeleteDo love that background stamp now that I've seen it. You're sewing machine is getting lots of use. I'm so impressed. Mine is still collecting dust...
Ahh! What a sweet image and a lovely card. Glad you are enjoying the summer, it's a shame to miss out being stuck indoors. The motivation keeping me crafting is the fact it is the only thing i have that is real "me time" during the school holidays. It is my sanity and relaxation!

so cute! the lace stamp is wonderful - looks like real lace.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that's distracting me from crafting is the heat - somehow when it's over 30C and humid I don't feel like doing anything ;)
