I have had some rare free time this morning. OH is in the garage shuffling things around and the little man is fast asleep on the sofa - almost unheard of for a Saturday morning. He went to bed at 10pm last night (after a party) but still got up before 6am this morning and now he is catching up!
The main image is Penny Black "Mixed Media". I stamped this in Memento "Rich Cocoa" and then inked with Tim Holtz Distress inks "Victorian Velvet", "Spun Sugar" and "Antique Linen", next I painted the flowers with "Victorian Velvet" before coating them with Versamark (using a VM pen) and heat embossing with clear embossing powder. The punched flowers have been embossed with a Crafts Too "Daisy" embossing folder and coated in "Victorian Velvet" and again covered in Versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The base of the card is made using my much loved Crafts Too 5" x 5" dots folder, with a little "Antique Linen" sponged around the edges and the sentiment is a very sweet one from SU!
Enjoy your weekend.
Hugs, Clare xx

Thanks for joining us at allsorts this week Hugs Kirsten ...x
I had my eye on this stamp recently and couldn't run to buying another at the time but having seen your card, it's just beautiful isn't it. I'm sorely tempted now. I love the soft colouring you've used and that embossed flower looks just like fabric, it's really beautiful.
What do men find to do in garages and sheds!! It's a mystery to me but at least we get some craft time don't we?
