For this card, I have used one of the Funky Fossil Designs October new release clear stamp sets called "Sew Lovely" on a "Knitted Background Stencil".

I started by blending "Cracked Pistachio" Distress Oxide on white cardstock.

I then used the "Knitted Background Stencil" with "Weathered Wood" Distress Oxide Inks and a blending tool to create the grey knit stitch pattern over the green background.  I then die cut this into a circle with a stitched edge detail to the die cut.

Using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink, I stamped the "Sew Happy For You" sentiment, which is part of the "Sew Lovely" clear stamp set.

On a plain piece of white card, I used a blender and "Weathered Wood" Distress Oxide and adhered the die cut circle over it.  

On each corner of the "Weathered Wood" square, I stamped the "kisses/cross-stitch detail" in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist".

I used a blender and "Cracked Pistachio" Distress Oxide Inks on a plain piece of square card and glued the grey square on top.

I then moved on to the main feature of the circle, by stamping the sewing machine (part of the "Sew Lovely" stamp set) over the knit stitch background, using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

I then stamped the same image on to plain white card and fussy cut the sewing machine out and adhered over the original stamped image.  Finally, I coloured the foliage with a Sakura Jelly Roll Pen.

Funky Fossil - Sew Lovely with Knitted Background

I've been playing with the Funky Fossil "Sew Lovely" clear stamp set using their "Knitted Stencil" for the background.

I started by using "Weathered Wood" Distress Oxide Ink through the "Knitted Background Stencil.

On plain white card, I stamped the thread holders (eight times, two for each colour) in Versafine Clair inks.

I coloured the inner thread area with an Arteza Brush Pen and then cut the shape out.  

I then fussy cut the thread holder out (without the foliage) and adhered the coloured thread to it using foam pads to give dimension.

I stamped the "Sew Happy For You" and the "Kisses/cross stitch" sentiment in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink and then adhered the thread cards onto the card.

Funky Fossil Designs have some exciting new stamps that will be available to purchase from 9am on Saturday 19th October 2019.

For this card, I have used the "Sew Lovely" set of clear stamps.  I wanted to keep it relatively CAS (clean & simple) so deliberately only added colour to the stamped area, so that the eye is drawn there.

I used an embossing folder which i think came free with a magazine some time ago for the background.

Using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" ink, I stamped the image and the sentiment, both are part of the "Sew Lovely" stamp set. I coloured the pins and pin cushion area using Arteza Brush Pens.

Once adhered on to the card blank, I embellished by adding three buttons to the bottom corner of the card.

Funky Fossil Designs New Stamp Preview - October 2019 (Sew Lovely)

I like to sew, but don't do too much of it lately, so I was thrilled to receive this brand new set of stamps to play with from Funky Fossil Designs called "Sew Lovely".  These stamps will be available to purchase on the Funky Fossil site from 9am on 19th October 2019.

Make sure you check back on the 19th October, when I will be sharing information about a fabulous give away.

If you have a moment to spare, please do pop over to see the gorgeous work by my fellow Design Team colleagues:

The stamping of the sewing machine, the stitching around the edge and the sentiment are all in Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" a lovely shade of grey ink.

I painted the colours onto the card using various shades of Distress Oxide inks: Spun Sugar, Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry and Vintage Photo.
