Thankfully my replacement sewing machine arrived yesterday afternoon, so I was able to finish my card for the latest Sugar Bowl Challenge. I have been itching to get this one finished!
The Leanne Ellis stamp designs are among my favourites, I love the more arty stamps she has illustrated, and the most recent set are truly fantastic. “Journey” has to be my favourite of the set, there’s just something about this image.
Coloured with Copics, the image has been cut out and layered on foam pads for a little dimension. The list of markers used can be found at the end of this post.
The inside of this one is quite simple, but effective I think. I love the Cosmo Cricket papers, and didn’t want to cover them up too much!
The gorgeous button is one I found in the Very Berry selection. Yum! It is sewn on using silver elastic cord.
