It will be obvious to regular readers of my blog that apart from my love of all things parchment I also love card stitching. You will see that in my sidebar under 'Some Great Sites' you will find some stitching sites and one of them is Cardmaking Online (Australia). For a card stitcher, this site is a gold mine and there are so many wonderful patterns to choose from.
One of my favourite designers down under is Laura and this pattern that I have used can be found on page 14 of her designs. Wonderful service from the site as they come so quickly digitally - even from Australia!!
I fell in love with this design immediately but it has taken a while to finish because after I had started it - the first time, I had an accident. I had the 'girls' round for our monthly craft day and I was stitching the card. We all do different things. One of my guests wanted something and I jumped up to get it for them in my best hostess manner and knocked over my coffee and you can guess where it went. I put on a brave face but I was very upset after all the work.
But because I loved the pattern I started again and I finished it yesterday. Here it is:
The frog and the bubble blower are coloured with chalks and the fairies are die cut from a Marianne Craftable set.
As the scene of a frog blowing bubbles can only be in the imagination - I imagined some fairies.
I hope you like him as much as I do.
Hugs
