This Maggie with flowers image from Sugar Nellie was one of the first stamps that I bought and it is still one of my firm favourites. I coloured her in with watercolour pencils (her dress is green but it doesn't show very well on the photo) and cut her out with my nestabilities, the green scalloped circle has been cut from DCWV CS. Pink stripe background paper is from papermania and has been matted onto pink CS that has been embossed with the swiss dots CB folder. Stitched flower borders are 'sew simple' rub on's from doodlebug. Stamped sentiment is from hero arts and has been paper pieced and then 3d'd with some foam. The background bright flower paper was free with a magazine.I am struggling to get much crafting done at the moment as we are due to move house in 3 weeks and so we have been busy clearing out the loft, garage etc. So please bear with me if I don't post as much over the next few weeks. I can't wait to just get into the new house, where I wil have my own craft room. I have already been planning in my head what new furniture and storage solutions I will need. I feel a trip to Ikea coming on!
Hope you are all well. Thanks for stopping by to look at my blog!
