Hoppy Day


It took me a moment to work out whose sketch I used but its Sketch and Stash and since today is Saturday the image is Penny Black. He's called Hoppy Day even though I have him as a wood mounted stamp Penny Black make him in a Slapstick stamp.
I have to admit the grasses in the buck gave me a bit of a headache and I used Accent Beads for the bullrushes. It's an absolute pain but I can't find that colour or even Accent Beads anywhere but have discovered Micro Beads for nails so I've order some off e-bay to discover whether they will work.
I think the papers are My Minds Eye but don't hold me to that.
I decided it needed faux stitching, always find when I start doing this I have to faux stitch everything in sight.
Finished off with the Lavish branch from Memory box and some punched flowers, the sentiment is LOTV which I don't seem to be able to stop using.
I plan today to finish of the scrapbooking I started last week at the crop, but I've got Hubby to get the Sewing Machine out of it box so after 6 months I'm going to have a play lets hope she gets a nice name.
