Hello there
Well school holidays are finished which means everyone is back to school and work. We had a very busy second week of the holidays 2 trips to the Werribee zoo (one for night walk and the other for a special members only Eastern Barred Bandicoot talk) and the 3 girls and I went to see Wicked. I even got a little sewing time in one dance costume complete and I finished a quilt I started ages ago (see pic at the end of this post).
Anyway I have a card to share which I am linking up to these challenges
CAS Card (Clean and simple)
and
I turned this sketch
and
I took inspiration from the colours
I used Mama Elephant no peeking and cozy christmas stamp sets stamped with Versfine Onyx Black. I coloured with SU markers adding a wink of stella and glossy accents to the present bows and the scarf. The wood panel is from an AC journal card.
I know these are Christmas Stamps sets but I think this works for a birthday.
Here are a couple of pics of that quilt
I used Stampin UP! fabric 3″ squares and some white from my stash for the border. The backing is a lemon cotton.
Thanks for stopping.
Cheers
Vicki
