One of my nephews has a birthday on Tuesday and I realised I hadn't made his card yet, so after the lunchtime football match and during the afternoon ones, I have put that right! Yes, I'm
happy it's footie season again!
I've used Paperartsy stamps, a tag and some Craftwork Cards paper from the (large) pile you saw on WOYWW!
Started with faded jeans and crushed olive on the tag, the bird is stamped on pearl metal and made into a tape sandwich and coloured with gel pens and some yellow distress stickles for his 'comb'.
I've used the same inks over the background paper (it was pale blue to start with) and added a maya road sheer clock and the birthday boy's name on the dymo label. The ink on the back of the bird nearly dried by the time I got the damn backing paper off.......!!!!
You can kind of see the glitter on his comb better in this one.
Anyhow, this is going in the post tomorrow on my way to Stevenage for the Stamperama show. Oh, did I already mention I'm going stash buying tomorrow, cos I don't have
much a lot enough.... See some of you there!!
