Off Grid

My dh's dreams of being a full time, off grid

spoon whittler, have had to be put on hold.

He's started a new job today!

Here's the card I made to wish him luck.

I've used my new MFT diagonal sentiment die,

and filled in the cut outs with copper effect paper.

Then I've added my bunnies with foam pads, for some dimension.

Here's a little video,  just to show you how glossy that paper is..

Patchwork

I wracked my brains over the 'geometric' challenge

and finally came up with this patchwork design.

It was a great way to use up snippets of dp,

sticking them to a piece of base card and then using a stitched die,

to get a nice edge.

Recently my cards seem to have been of the 'I can't wait for this one to slip off the page' variety - but I finally found some time to sit and craft and I came up with something I am more than happy with.
This is for my daughter's 23rd birthday on Thursday - how did she get to be a grown up so fast!!

How amazing is this image - it's from  Crafts and Me - and when I saw it I knew it would be perfect. Ignore the horrible streaky lines on it - that's just my cr** printer at work - the download itself is spot on.

I spent ages colouring her with Copics and gave her the same hair and eye colour as my daughter.
I can't wait to try her out with some different colours though - maybe some bright pink, or blue hair!! :-))

I found the perfect little sentiment in a set of stamps that came free with a magazine
