Edwin with Broom

Meet Edwin, he's doing one of those jobs we all hate, sweeping leaves, it seems such a no win task, they keep on blowing down and you keep sweeping! I love this stamp and Yes its another Magnolia design and another one from Sharon (BIG thanks). For the first time I used my expression for small cuts and oh my word it goes small. I cut the leaves from the doodlecharms cartridge this first I cut at 1/4" and its tiny! Too small to use for this but amazing that it did it. So I used 1/2" and 3/4" for this card. I am very impressed with the expression on how it coped so small.

Materials used :

Magnolia stamp, SU Doodle set, cricut expression machine to cut doodlecharms leaves, small doodlebug jewels, crate paper, watercolour pencils, PC to print word circle (designed by me) SU Scalloped punch
