My Long Lost Moose :(
This was my swap card for Jami’s New Stamp Set swap. I say “was” because the USPS managed to lose the box and my eleven cards, return postage and a gift for Jami are somewhere betweeen here and California. I felt badly enough that my time and supplies were wasted, but I feel even worse that others are now getting slighted because of the loss. Nothing to be done though, I suppose. I allowed plenty of time for the package to arrive.
I used Chocolate Chip for my base (no shock there, eh?), using the same color ink and Canvas for the background. The patterned paper is from SU’s new Outlaw dsp. All edges (except the horizontal strip) are sponged, and I added the three little knots of linen thread, using the mat pack to evenly space the stitches.
I keep hoping that sometime soon my box will appear and I’ll be able to get the cards to those in my swap group. But if not….I’m sorry! 
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla Patterned Paper: Outlaw designer series paper Stamps: Moose You, Canvas Ink: Chocolate Chip Accessories: Mat pack/needle, linen thread, sponge. All supplies Stampin’ Up! Finished card size: 5 ½” x 4 ¼”
I love how you used the Outlaw DP with your card !!! It’s soooo cute !! Thanks for sharing your incredible talent.
I love this Moose, he is too cute, what a great card.
This is soooo darling!!! I am so sorry about your lost box!! Maybe it will turn up one of these days? I sure hope so! LOVE your card!!!!!
That is such a bummer, M! I hope the box shows up soon! I love this card, especially those little knots!!!
Oh Michelle that is an adorable card!! So sad for you the pkg is lost! Hoping it shows up for you!
Oh no! I am sorry your swap was lost! It looks wonderful. I hope it will still show up at Jami’s house. Hugs!
This is sooo beautiful Michele! That is really too bad about your swap!!!! I hope it magically appears soon!
Oh, dear! I’m sorry about your lost package. They sure missed out on a cute swap card so I’m sorry for the other swappers, too. I bet it will show up eventually. This is so cute. I love the linen stitches and the border strip.
too cute Michele!! Sorry about the lost swaps
