Magnolia vs Stampavie - Week 21 Sketch

Had to use this stamp again for my other son's Easter card, otherwise I do not know when I will use it again. I have followed Michelle's lovely sketch over at Magnolia vs Stampavie this week. I loved the idea of the eyelets & ribbon along the bottom, but had to adapt mine as I had
eyelets of the right colour. There is obviously a gap in my stash that needs to be filled. Yippee! an excuse to spend, LOL!

FYI, the DPs are Chatterbox Scrapbook Walls & the ribbon from Laura Ashley. I used a Dimension Fourth stamp to make the swirl & glued on embroidery thread for added texture, with Papermania adhesive stones to accent.

Will not get much chance to craft over Easter as we are going over to my parents. However I am taking some images & my Distress Inks so hopefully I will still be able to get my fix!

Happy Easter one & all

SOS Challenge 44- Easter Edwin

Easter has come early over at a Spoon Full of Sugar challenge, & here's my entry. When I saw this image of Edwin I knew I was going to make my boys their Easter cards with it. However, this is my first go at masking & I am not entirely happy with it. I do not think Edwin looks very comfy! He looks like he is perched, rather than seated, LOL! Must try harder on my next attempt!

FYI, the DP is by Sassafrass Lass, & I coloured the image with my trusty Distress Inks. The big yellow flower I made on a Prym's Flower Loom, that I saw in Hobbycraft at the weekend. I thought I would give it a whirl. I like the effect, but the instructions are a bit vague, & while I am sure it has potential, I am going to need to experiment a bit with it! If anyone knows any useful links I could have a look at, please let me know. :-)

Well hope everyone has got through Monday OK, it gets better from here on in!!
