Hobby Art Waters Edge Birthday Card

Good afternoon.  Hope you are keeping safe and well.  

Today is the OH birthday and his card always has to have a bird theme.

This year's card has a few waders pottering about on the waters edge.

I have used

A couple of images from the Hobby Art Waters Edge stamp set that have been coloured with copics.

The background is blended distress oxides.

The birds have been fussy cut and mounted on the card with 3D foam.  It doesn't look like it on this photo, they look quite flat but they are raised up.

The only comment OH made was 'What waders are they supposed to be' not quite the reaction I was hoping for.

Oh well better luck next year.

Thanks for taking the time to visit by my blog and I'll see you soon.

Crafty Calendar July Challenge - Add a Ribbon

Good afternoon.  Hope you are keeping safe and well.  A few lockdown restrictions have been lifted today so a happy 4th of July to you all.

 Lots of places can reopen, cinemas, bars, restaurants, museums, etc, if you feel brave enough and can safely keep socially distanced.  Hairdressers can also reopen today so everyone's lockdown hairdos will soon start to be history 

It's the first Saturday in the month and we have a new challenge for you

over at Crafty Calendar.  The theme this month is

'ADD A RIBBON'

Today being the 4th of July although I don't celebrate it,  I have a card for those among you who do commemorate American Independence Day, it also gave me an excuse to colour a digital image I have had for ages and not used.

I have used Wryn the Patriot from Tiddlyinks coloured with copics.

The background is stencilled stars and I added some blue spotty and also red and white ribbons.

We are sponsored for this challenge by
