My entry for the Papertake Weekly and 2 Sketches 4 You Challenges this week features another ‘off the rails’ humorous style stamp called Agnes from Art Impressions. I love these unique stamps as much as the cute ones from say Magnolia or Sugar Nellie – so I tend to swing from one style to the other each week. The brief this week for the Challenge was to use the colours pink, orange and brown. My papers are from a selection from my digital download stash, and the image has been paper pieced and also coloured with Copics and Pro Markers. I machine stitched the layers and embellished the card with a satin ribbon from Raspberry Ribbons.
I decorated the inside of the card and made a matching envelope. The envelopes are really simple and easy to make – but it does require an A3 printer to get the paper to the required 25cm square, printed on both sides – otherwise use 12 x 12 craft paper cut down. I then use the Enveloper Pro to score the envelope to fit a 6 inch square card.
I made the card with a special friend in mind – I hope she sees the funny side of it – lol. xxx

This is gorgeous! I've got some Golden Oldies stamps in my stash and i just love those, they're very similiar to the one you've used. I love the inside of the card too, its as stunning as the outside. Fab matching envelope too. I struggle making 6x6 envelopes so would love the measurements for that when/if you have time. I've got an enveloper, not the pro type! Jillix
