Tiny Cute Sheep Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? I hope you got up to something nice. On Saturday we headed down to Mill Rythe a holiday camp on Hayling Island and we had a visit with our in-laws who were staying there with friends. On Sunday our daughter and son-in-law dropped off the hamster, we are looking after her while they go on holiday. Then along with our son-in-law's parents we had a meal at our local garden centre. Finally we  went to the Dinosaur Crazy golf which has opened near us. I have to say is just amazing and lots of fun.

This card started life as an off-cut from a larger card. I had been using the cloud dies on another project and I decided I wanted to make a sheep with the dies.

This is just a 4" x 4" card. I found a Spellbinders die that cut a border of flowers. I cut them in white card and coloured them with my Sparkle pens. The clouds are Crafter's Companion dies and seagulls are from the Nautical Scenes die set. I used spotty green paper for the grass. The sky is another dotty paper. Basically I raided my scrap box of bits. 

This is such a clever die set. You can make the sheep face on or facing to either side. It is a Marianne die set it is called Eline's Sheep. 

Here we all are enjoying the Dinosaur Crazy golf. There were moving dinosaurs, growling dinosaurs,  a viking boat and a vivid blue waterfall.  

I am happy to say that this was one of the cards that sold at the Hampshire Open Studios event. I might just make another one. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Counting Sheep

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How was your weekend? We visited both sets of parents on Saturday and did jobs in the garden on Sunday we took 4 large bags of garden waste to the tip. I can't believe next week is Ally Pally I am so looking forward to it.

I was very naughty recently and I ordered some  lovely dies. Really I should be saving money to spend on things for our daughter's wedding but you know how it is the dies were very tempting.

Aren't these sheep cute and it is one die set and the sheep can face different ways. It is a Marianne Collectable die set. 

So cute. 

They can point in different directions but facing the front. 

The cloud and stars are in the die set too. I just had to use the stars. 

Have a wonderful week. 

Happy Crafting

Birdcage and Birds Birthday Card

Here is a card I made for a friend at work who likes the cards I make with birds on them.

The finished card is 6 x 6. I used Centura Pearl card for the background that I inked with  Faded Jeans  and Peacock Feathers Distress ink. I stamped a Clarity Stamp Birdcage and then I embossed it using a Special touch mask. The cage is a Spellbinder die and the birds and leaves are Marianne dies. I punched the flowers with a Martha Stewart punch. The centres of the flowers and the corner pearls are made with Beads in a Bottle by Tulip. It is all stuck together with Aleene's Turbo Tacky glue.

I'm still learning about blogging. I will get better at this.
