Is it...or isn't it?


Sometimes you just want to say Hi, or give a little encouragement.  Today, my card for Dr Digi's House of Stamps, is using the Toolshed Ted image.  I'm sure he's been putting his gardens to bed for the winter (just like me!), but just wants to save this one little plant for his windowsill.  Of course, he looks a little puzzled....perhaps he's just trying to decide if it's really a plant, or just a weed.

As you can see, I've coloured and then fussy cut the image, before adhering with some foam squares, and this time I've framed him in the negative of a die cut.  This is the Spellbinders Labels Twenty die, and I've traced both inside and outside with brown pen.  I've used a Stämpelkällan stamp for the grasses, and a bit of sunshine for a nice outdoorsy feeling.  The doodling at the top of the card is actually made with a stitching template.

We've been spoiled lately with some lovely sunshine and mild temperature, but it does look like that is coming to an end.  I guess that will mean more time for crafting, no?

Take care everyone, and thanks for stopping by.
