Emily's 8th Birthday

For my grandaughters 8th Birthday I decided to go cutsie!

The stamps used are from Chocolate Baroque . I coloured the birds in using my Marvy Le Plume pens as they hadn't seen the light of day for ever!!!. I also decided to play with my grand calibur as it was also feeling lonely. I went with a "pastelish" look as I tend to do grungy too often and I don't think the children would really appreciate that!!! Unfortunately I had to use a peel off number as I didn't have a suitable number stamp in the size I wanted. I do use them sometimes when the ocassion calls for them and I have nothing else suitable!!!!!!!!!!!11

A few more crafty creations

Time to dig out a few more photos of  my crafty efforts!!

I made this one last year for Dads Fathers Day

The stamps used are from Sheena Douglas. I stamped the pier and then masked before stamping the boat in the background. The images were coloured using a mix of distress inks and water colour pencils. The Foliage at the top is stamped with a Lavinia stamp and also the tree root on the left. The Background paper is from Joanna Sheen and the die cut leaves are a sissix die. To make the message I used a bottlecap and hand wrote with a fine liner pen as I didn't have a stamp suitable. The large flower was one that was made on a crafty afternoon spent with friends and put away into my stash. No idea which stamp or die was used!!!!!!!1
