Happy Thursday everyone. Hope you have had a good week. It's been lovely here in Dorset, although the mornings are so much darker so my early jaunts have been put back a bit, much to the disgust of our four legged family members.
Which brings me nicely to the theme for the new challenge at
As You Like It
We would love to see your projects featuring Flora or Fauna.

As you can see I chose Fauna...in every sense. Although I love my garden, when it comes to card making its animals and people that inspire me.
I bought this Clarity stamp quite a few years ago now and stamped and embossed it and it has sat in my "not quite sure what to do with" box ever since!! While flicking through my paper pad mountain, as you do, I came across deer backing paper and so my card idea was born. Throw in a new embossing folder, bells and some ribbon and bingo...job done!!
I hope I have I managed to inspire you to join us.
Well, that's it for now. Take Care xx

ReplyDeleteThis is terrufic Sarah....great image and love the red and Kraft together too. Really really like this embossing folder, got a lovely knitwear look about it
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Sarah! Adore Kraft, white and red together and your 'knitted' embossing folder really adds to the Nordic look!
ReplyDeleteI'm not enjoying the darker mornings either...not helped by having a power cut this morning!!! xxx
That hedgie image really is lovely Sarah and Kraft and red work so well together. I also have one of those boxes, seemed like a good idea to buy at the time of course !
ReplyDeleteI smiled at your rhubarb and custard mention and when I took another look I saw exactly the same thing.
