Cranky Old guy with a Big Moustache


Ok.. is it just me?

Every time I look at this flourish - which I adore by the way - I see a Cranky old guys with a massive Moustache. Can you see him? Or am I on something? He's at the very top of the flourish.. in this case I think it looks even more the case because the white dots on the patterned paper are forming a pupil in his eyes!

I was cleaning my craft desk today (yes, you read that right) and suddenly got inspired to create again. So glad because between Family trauma and the school holidays I've been a little lacking in creative mojo of late. SO nice to have it back!

I really like this card - I combined Pink Pirouette with Choc chip and Close to Cocoa cardstock - such a nice combination. The flourish is embossed in white onto the Bella Rose patterned paper. Such a simple card, but effective I think.

If you want information on making this card, or wish to purchase supplies to recreate it, please contact me at higgiz@bigpond.com

Enjoy the card!

Linda, I'm never going to look at this stamp the same again!!! I do see the cranky old guy with the big moustache!!! Maybe stamping does that to you!

I'm glad the mojo is back.

Hi Linda,

nope you're not dreaming - as soon as I read your comment - he was there! Despite the cranky old bloke on the front the card turned out lovely:)

Perhaps you could ink him up in red and put a santa hat on him?
Nice colours on this one.

ROFL!! I see him now, even though I have stamped this particular damask stamp lots of times, I never thought that before! Thanks! (I think?!!) So glad to read that the move went well, all the best for the Housewarming/Mini Launch. And this particular card is moving into my CASE pile, cranky old bloke and all!
