Sew, Sew, Sew....

Blimey, I must be one half of the saddest couple on the planet. Do you know how we have spent our Saturday night? Googling bird sounds to try and work out what the hell the terradactyl that wakes us up at 3am every morning actually is. Turns out, it sounds a lot like an owl. Only, a really loud screechy one. That sounds a lot like you'd expect a terradactyl to sound. Anyhow, (or should I say, 'anyhooo'?!), on to today's card.....

Isn't this image the cutest?! He is a proud part of my precious heap of Whimsy stamps and also makes up my entry for this weeks challenge over at the Whimsy Challenge Blog - 'Sew, Sew, Sew'. I'd really love a little sewing machine but don't really have anywhere to put it. So, for now, I will have to make do with faux stitches I guess. BTW, you can't really tell from the rubbish picture but I sponged the background with chalk ink to add a bit of sky. It looks lovely IRL, I promise!

Goodie List........
Stamps: Whimsy Duck
Digital Paper: Urban Clover by Peppermint Creative.
Ink & Colour: Memento (Tuxedo Black) & Copic markers.
Tools: Nestabilities.

Embellishments: Craftwork Cards Sentiment, ribbon & button from stash.

Whilst we are on the subject of Whimsy stamps, have you checked out the new Pet Collection bundle? It is currently available to pre-order here. You get 3 large character stamps and a set of sentiment stamps that work perfectly with them. And all for a fabulous price. What more could you ask for?! Get over there quick to check it out.

Thanks for listening to me ramble, hope I haven't bored you to death! See you tomorrow, ready for the new Anyone for Anya challenge!

Anyone for Anya? Buttons, Bows & Brads

Yay! Anya time again! This week, we want you to whip out your Greeting Farm stamps and team them up with buttons, bows and brads. Now, regular visitors to my blog will now that I have recently become obsessed with using button tied bows on my cards. You can therefore imagine my joy when I realised I could actually use this embellie to satisfy the demands of the challenge on my Anyone for Anya? DT card this week!

This is probably my favourite Anya.... well, in this set anyway! I think the bright pink ribbon may be slightly too bright pink but I chucked it on regardless. You know me, it has to be bright to be beautiful! ;o)
