Stamp it, cut it, bake it, make it,
paint it, stick it, sew and wear it. Snap it, sketch it, pin it, write it,
play it, ply it, stop: re-write it. Try it, test it, learn it, link it, plan it, think it, pen and ink it.
Share it, give it, show it, grow it,
keep it, wrap it, pack and send it.
A couple of my friends just moved in together, and I'm going to surprise them with this housewarming card. The paper I've used to cover the house is from Toga:
The little insert with the birds stamped onto it is where I wrote the good wishes:
And I folded a useful stand so that the birdhouse can be displayed on their mantlepiece:
thanks Rachel - that's done by 'masking' - stamping the first image, then stamping again on a scrap piece of paper, cutting it out and covering the original stamped image, and then stamping another image slightly over the 'mask'. it's a great technique!
what a gorgeous card, they'll be over the moon when they get this :)

ReplyDeleteThat’s lovely! I like the way how the birds are linked into each other. Great text too and so true…
