It seems that it a year of special birthdays! So I made use of my Funky Hand Papercraft Factory CD-ROM, and printed off some number cards, then decorated them in various ways.
I had fun with my favourite technique, the masking papers! I stamped the images in grey, and then masked them off, before applying a stencil in Weathered Wood and Vintage Photo Distress inks. I stamped a few tickets, and coloured these with Vintage Photo as well, then mounted them with 3d sticky pads.
Mike is buying me a summerhouse to celebrate my 60th birthday, so I decided it would be as pretty as I could possibly make it! Not for me a dirty, dusty corner, but I have made bunting for the outside from an old oilcloth, then inside bunting from various shades of brown/cream material. Then I made some elephants...why? not really sure, but I think they are cute!
I have discovered the joy of felt!! Firstly it was Santa's, then I made a Sunshine in the Rain mobile. Then I found a lovely pattern for a rocking horse pillow. I didn't like the idea of a pillow, so I decided to make him three dimensional, and give him two rockers.
