I stamped the image and then coloured it with Copics. I even decorated a matching envelope. This is a mini card measuring 10cm by 10cms.

Happiest of Days

I must admit I don’t use a lot of kraft cardstock – to be honest I find it a bit ‘dirty’ looking, but I thought it worked OK here as it really let the focal image take centre stage. I couldn’t have spaced out the sun rays evenly if I hadn’t used my stamp-a-ma-jig. I have only acquired one recently, and I don’t know how I managed so long with out one! A must have tool in your stash, especially if you are working with rubber stamps like this set is.

I decided to have a bit of fun this week. When I first saw the Splat Attack set, I thought of creating some little creatures! Fun, doncha think? I’ve created several projects suitable for a birthday party.

First up an Action Wobble card!

On my recent holiday, I came across some glassine bags from Big W and make some little treat bags.
