OSAAT DT - CHALLENGE NO 220 - ANYTHING GOES WITH A FLOWER


Hi there blog friends, it's another challenge over on the One Stitch at a Time blog.  This fortnight the theme is 'Anything Goes with a Flower' although I might have used a couple more!  I love popping flowers on my cards, they are amongst my favourite embellishments .... having said that, I have loads more favourites!

I have used a digi called 'China Doll' from Stitchy Stamps and a background paper from Panda Bear called 'Year of the Dragon' - they are both available from Stitchy Bear Digital Outlet (here).




I love this image and would really like to try on a kimono and be a Japanese Geisha for a day (retired of course)!

China Doll digi image - Stitchy Stamps at the Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet

Thank you for stopping by my little blog planet again, and thank you also for the lovely comments you keep leaving me - not only about my cards but also about our barmy furbies - did I tell you that Donny now follows Graham everywhere, even to the bathroom, thankfully he sits outside waiting for 'daddy' to go back downstairs - eeew!

Anyway must be off now as I am sooooo tired - this is a scheduled post!!

Big hugs to you all, take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

  5. Oh, Susie, your Japanese garden is lovely! Really really sweet!
    It's so nice that you made your wedding and bridesmaid dresses and still keep yours... Well, I also keep mine, but I bought it. Being able to sew must be great. I can just stitch felt flowers by now...
