Bah Humbug.....

Bah Humbug challenge this week is Stitching/Faux Stitching. Have used the this lovely owl stamp but unfortunately it doesn't have a name on it, all I do know is that I bought it from Simply Stamps.
Stamped onto cream pearlised card and lightly coloured the image and have 3D the middle owl, used Snowtex on the branches to give the effect of snow. Backing paper is from stash, Pricked card across the centre then used a black fine liner pen to give the impression of stitches also added ribbon.
Martha Stewart wide trellis punch along the bottom, sentiment computer generated, card candy.

Bloomin with beauty.....

No crafting today as it was such a lovely day we decided to have a day out down in Exeter. Had a superb lunch and our table in the restaurant overlooked Exeter Cathedral.....lovely.
Flower image is from the SU Bloomin with Beauty stamp set, I have so many bits of card and paper laying around so decided I needed to use some of it up and I know they say 'blue and green should never be seen' but I love this combination.
Not sure where the blue backing paper came from but the green is SU designer paper, all card is SU, Martha Steward punch, cuttlebug flower dies and of course pearls....ribbon is also SU.
