A Sweet Woodland Birthday

Hello.

For a minute, when I got up this morning, I thought it wasn't raining.
False alarm. 
It's still raining  :o)

That makes more than 40 + days of rain in the UK this year. 
What's a person to do, other than get comfy in their craftroom.


I couldn’t resist inking up Bugsy and Jessie from Purple Onion Designs -  they’re just too sweet.
Bugsy with his balloon and Jessie clutching that birthday present, with a stencilled birch tree background - it’s basically a little woodland party waiting to happen.


Challenge



  • clearly besotted - treemendous times stencil
  • purple onion designs - bugsy and jessie
  • time 4 tea designs - walrus (green die cut)
  • mama elephant - labeled messages
  • distress ink - shaded lilac
  • copic markers / white gel pen

Found this adorable card at FMS, and had to let you know how much I love it! Such a sweet woodland scene and it works so well with the sketch. Hope you can stay dry with all the rain you've been having.
