Got a new purchase yesterday, so of course had to use it and made a birthday card, also decided to enter it into the Sunday Stampers Challenge the theme being brown.
The dress form is of course from T!m's new Sewing Room die, background stamps are Oxford Impressions which I've had forever, bit of East of India tape measure, the ribbon is a piece of muslin coloured with broken china distress stain and over stamped with text stamp in Stazon brown timber, lovely colour. Enjoyed making this, even though my chemo was upped on Monday and it seems to be affecting me with headache, nausea and tummy upset, still us crafters are nothing if stoic.
So what was my new pressie to myself, as if you hadn't guessed, ta da.....
It truly is an amazing machine, love it, love it, love it.
This is GORGEOUS!!! THanks for joining in with the Sunday sTamper... sorry to hear you have had to have the chemo upped hunny... you take good care xx
