I was the lucky winner of a recent Pixie's Snippets Playground challenges...it was one in the memory of Ruby, and the prize, rather appropriately, was this fabulous Stamping Bella 'Dawn Loves Her Doggie' stamp. It arrived yesterday, and I couldn't resist inking it up right away! I stamped it, along with the matching sentiment, on to a snippet of watercolour paper, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. The papers are a mixture of snippets from a couple of different pads. The polkadot one is from the 'Refreshing Basics' pad from The Works, and the heart & fabric texture ones are from the 'Vintage Dreams' pad by Craft Sensations. I used my Cuttlebug 'Concentric Hearts' die to cut a little heart shape, then distressed all of the edges and added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.

I thought your stitching was for real. It looks very effective. Can see why you wanted to stamp up the image straight away. It’s soooooo cute. Hugs Mrs A.
