a couple of challenge cards (2nd post of the day)




The sewing theme at Crazy Amigos couldn't have come at a better time as I have just received some fabulous sewing theme stamps from Crafty Individuals.


. I adore the thread cards and thought they'd look sweet with real thread around them.
The quote is from a different crafty individuals set.

The second card is for the less is more "seeing double" challenge. I have used some more stamps from Crafty Individuals, I've had these ones for ages but they are really useful as there are both open images and silhouette images of flowers.

I stamped the open flower in black and then the coordinating image in green and pink (chewing gum and stick candy jenni bowlin inks). the two matching stamps are my "double". (the words are not from Crafty Individuals)

  1. I think I have these stamps too Joanne.. I love the splodge effect you get when overstamping as they are not made to fit absolutely one over the other.
    Great two step stamping!
    Thanks so much for joining us again.
