Classic Pooh Birthday Card

Hello how are you today? I haven’t been crafting for a while as I’ve had two unexpected operations this year. I have a biopsy next week, and I hope that will be it for a while. Today I am sharing a Classic Pooh card. I love E.H.Shepards original drawings in the Pooh books and these stamps have been inspired by his wonderful art work. 

I water coloured the map and used a uni pin fine line pen to add detail.The map is based on Ashdown Forest where all of  the Pooh stories were set.  I also water coloured and fussy cut Pooh, and added some glossy accents to his beloved honey flowing out of  the honey pot which he is lovingly clinging on to.I also managed to use up some of my large pile of pretty patterned papers as a mount 😁

I will finish with this photo taken in the Ashdown Forest some years ago, I am looking towards Gills Lap known as “The Enchanted Place “ in the Pooh books. 

Thank you so much for visiting, wishing you sunny & happy days xx

Craft Challenge Birthday

Wish Big

I’m back again already with another card this time made for challenges at Paperbabe Sketch Challenge  and  Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge. It is a very different card to what I normally make, but it is always good to try something different. It is more of a clean and simple card, I used a stencil for the stars. The Wish Big stamp is by Altenew. I found a lovely piece of ribbon in my drawer which helped complete the look for the sketch challenge at Paperbabe.

Thank you for stopping by today and please stay safe xx

Garden Celebration

Hello, I hope all is well as it can be with you. Today I am sharing a very special garden which 

I made for someone’s 90th  birthday. He is a keen gardener so a garden scene was the most obvious choice. I had a lot of fun creating this, lots more photos and details are over on the Calico Craft Parts Blog today. 

Thank you for visiting, and please stay safe xx
