It's gonna be very hot today, we're already starting to melt! Perfect day to sit and colour I say. Anyhoo, I made this card for Dad-in-law for Father's Day last week and I really enjoyed colouring this stamp in. I decided to make the bird look like a Blue Tit as they're so pretty with their blue, yellow and green colours.

Yappy Birthday

 Hi everyone!

Yet another gorgeous summers day today! Perfect for frisbee throwing lol! 

It was ma boy's 12th birthday the other week and this is the card I made him. The background was a bit of an experiment which I ended up liking. I blended some inks on the paper by smooshing the ink onto my glass media mat, spritzing with water and dabbing the paper into it, then when it was dry I sponged some white gouache paint on top with a watercolour sponge.
