Good evening... this is my second post today, scroll down if you would like to see my DT card for The Creative Cottage Challenge, thanks!
Now, any of you recognise this little quote? I have to say I was in stitches when I saw this on a new Papermania stamp set... this has got to be one of my dad's all time favourite sayings! My hubby bought me these new stamps by Papermania recently... this set 'A Man's World' series and is called 'Couch Potato', it has some great little sentiments and images (both sentiment and image are from this set) . I stamped the quote then hand drew the speech bubble around it. I've used the sketch over at Friday Sketchers, I think it goes well with the papers which are Basic Grey 'Archaic'. I thought I'd do a bit of paper piecing with the same papers, a technique I don't do often but I really like the results! I'm entering the following challenges: ABC Challenge Q is for Quote (my dad's fave), Friday Sketchers - Claudia's fab sketch and Fab 'n Funky Challenge 'All In The Technique' (my techniques are paper piecing and colouring with markers).Well, hubby is watching the footie... I would join him had it been Newcastle playing but instead I'll pop into my craftroom for a little play! Have a lovely evening ;)
