Sew Vintage Silhouette

Welcome!

It's week 2 at The Cheerful Stamp Pad and the DT Team has come up with some more fabulous inspiration for this fun challenge.

My inspiration comes from my love of sewing. I've used images from The Graphics Fairy, a sentiment for Create with TLC and another one of the fabulous Silhouettes from Floppy Latte.  


The vintage feel is to celebrate all the seamstresses in my family. My late grandmother made clothes for a living. She could produce the most fabulous gowns, including wedding gowns. All her daughters (my mother and aunts) were excellent needlewomen, doing sewing, knitting, embroidery and more. My aunt aged 82 does lace making as a hobby working with ultrafine yarns, creating all kinds of pretty things. Her angels are popular. My mother made most of our clothes when we grew up and she also knitted quite a few items. My dad's sister also still sews & crochet.

Thanks for popping in! I hope you will come and join us!

Silhouette Fantasy

Welcome!

It is time for a new challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad and we have Floppy Latte as our sponsor.

They have all these wonderful Silhouettes that the Design Team could play with. Do go and have a look around!

I decided to use Garden Fantasy and keep it simple:


I added my background using sponges and stamp pads, doing the same on the card. A bright pink layer, rhinestone flowers and a touch of glitter adds some extra detail to the dawn scene.

Hope you like it and will come and join us!
