Birds on the Fence

I actually made this for Louise a recent arrival to the world. I used a few different techniques to get this looking just right. I am as with all things on this blog able to demonstrate how this is made in a workshop.

catterpilar in the Garden but its the grasshoppers that ate my plants!

my son digs bugs and well he gets it from me in my 20's I spent alot of time looking at them under a microscope and well I still dig them and show him stuff all the time. Anyway I did another bug card using punches and two different stamp sets I'm thinking of turning this idea into a class for the kids cos it really easy to do!

Garden Whimsy

Garden Whimsy is one of the stamp sets that I consider a must I think its rather versatile as you can do lots with it as shown in this post. I really really like the snail and always try to put it in. Garden whimsy is particularly suited to stamp writes and using glitter as it is a block stamp and not so suited to water colouring for the exact same reason.
