The challenge theme this time at TRY IT ON TUESDAY called 'In the Garden' gives me an opportunity to share another page from my fabric book!
Some stamping again like the other pages but no floral fabric background, just left it plain white as I wanted the lace embroidered flower piece to take centre stage!
I have to thank my friend for this beautiful piece of lace which I had to chop up to make it fit on the pages - was a 'hold your breath cos if you ruin it you're not going to get anymore' kind of ten minutes as I attacked it with a pair of scissors!
I positioned it first and pinned it then decided where I was going to stamp.
After stamping I very carefully stitched the lace pieces into place.
I remembered I had a teeny bee stamp in an old Hero Arts set - loved💖 him!
He was fun to stamp then embroider him hovering over the flowers deciding which one took his fancy.
I resisted any notion of adding a couple more as I thought it was nice that he had all these pretty flowers🌸 all to himself!
The bird house might have been from Clarity eons ago and I found the small butterfly on a stamping block at the back of the drawer.... (don't say anything.....)
No secret garden is complete without a lock and key to the gate is it?!
Thanks for visiting me today!
PS The front cover of the book is HERE if you haven't seen it. x
