Jules made me buy it!

Hi there, 

todays card is made using a postage stamp die that Jules from Always with a heart blog made me buy after seeing her beautiful cards - especially this one . I have spent endless time trying to find the paper that Jules used with no avail! Here's my version:

I wasn't brave enough to stitch around my images like Jules did as my machine skills aren't up to it!

Everything used on this card came from snippets of  the Stamperia Provence paper pad with some SU gems and purple card stock. I also inked around the edges of the background paper to give it a vintage look. This die is very versatile and I can see why Jules is addicted to it!

I have also made a Christmas card with this die and I stencilled the images on it - I will share that one next time.

Basket of chicks

Good evening!

Todays card is made with a Penny Black stamp:

Being the ever critical I think that perhaps the black frame is too dark 😣

I used:

Penny Black 'Basket of chicks' stamp 2866J

Promarkers

Penny Black 'Beau Jardin' papers

SU lots of labels dies, dots  and punch for sentiment

Clearly Besotted sentiment 

I bravely machine stitched around the edges (which is a bit wonky and a bit loopy underneath so after asking Mr Google I need to adjust my bobbin tension - somehow!!)
