Last Friday, while hubby was been sitting out in the garden topping up his tan, my teenage son and I went out in the car for a run along to Portmoak Church to take flowers, it's been a wee while since we were there as I've not been feeling able for the hill. I had phoned ahead to the local farm cafe near Loch Leven and booked one of their garden "pods" so that afterwards we could have an hour or so of bonding time over a cream tea.
There is an island on Loch Leven which has a small castle on it, it is where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned after her surrender at Carberry Hill on 15 June 1567. She escaped on her second attempt on 2 May 1568 https://www.thehistorypress.co.uk/articles/mary-queen-of-scots-great-escape/.
For this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge I decided to be inspired by the summer sun and the Woodware "Time to Wine Down" stamp set. The embossed strip was made using a Darice Ivy Corner embossing folder, I thought the ivy from the folder looked very similar to the vine leaf on the stamp.
Some other stamps I have been using recently. Most of these are for my friend to add to her stash. I had already made a Baby Boy version of this Woodware "Baby Patch Elephant" set but forgot to take a photo of it.
Woodware "Huge Baby"
Woodware "With Love Doodles"
These are all fabulous cards! I love the illustrations on the wine cards and they are beautifully colored. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
