Well good morning bloggers, it's another soggy day here in Birmingham, UK. If it rains much more I'll have to buy the cat a boat.
Here is another offering for the current sketch challenge over at Less is More. I love this stamp from Stampendous which I found on eBay recently. The image is taken from one of my favourite paintings by John William Waterhouse called 'The Soul of the Rose'.
I stamped in Versafine and embossed with clear powder before colouring with Promarkers. The sentiment is one that I had made a few years ago. Unfortunately, it fell off the block onto the page so it looks a little thicker at one end than it should.
So what does a cat do when he can't go outside? He makes himself comfy by my craft table and snoozes the day away... not a bad old life is it?
Happy crafting everyone!
