Go Westie

I find a simple sketch is sometimes all you need to get you routing about in old stash for a stamp set you haven't used in a while .....


.... and the 'Lucy Loves Lines' sketch over at Lily pad cards did just that :)

I just love this stamp from Little Claire Designs and it actually stamps as a 9 square grid so I've cut out 5 images, popped up the little westies for dimension then added a piece of faux red leather collar instead of a ribbon tab, as per the sketch .
I'm quite pleased with the linen card base which I thought was too flimsy to do the job but with it being a small narrow card base  (A5 folded length-ways) it stands very well :)

That's all from me today .... I've been busy tidying the blog up and finally learnt how to add extra pages, now I can feel a headache coming on so I've probably been looking at the screen too long :(

Don't forget to check out the "Less is More" blog in the morning , it's a lucky dip week being the 5th Saturday of the month :)

Thanks for visiting  X

  4. Ooh, love the long card, I struggled with one I recently made! Your colors are great too! Going to clean out my craft closet (aka the craft room, all I get is a closet) to hopefully gain some inspiration from a long lost stamp.
