Bracelets

Part of the 'whimsical range'.  A fairy bracelet consisting of a large fairy, a fairy village house and an enchanting toadstool.

 Rainy Days bracelet.  Mixed blue beads, lampwork beads and rainbow and umbrella charms.

Dragonfly bracelet.  Crackle and glass pink beads with dragonfly charms.

Two birthday cards

This first card is for a four year old boy.  The pirate and parrot are decoupaged.  I had to cut everything out - damn the non pop-out type! 

The second card is for a 20 year old boy who is a referee.  I found this one quite hard and had to search long and hard for a referee - they obviously aren't popular!  I then coloured it in.  I like the dark green background which has a texture to it that reminds me of grass.

Stardust Card

I've been wanting to make a card where the printing is directly on the card itself, but so far haven't had the guts in case it went wrong!  I then read a useful tip to print what you want on a normal piece of white paper - then blue tack the card onto the paper exactly where you want the design, then print it again.

For my first attempt I have used the lovely and popular sentiment 'Birthdays are ordinary days sprinkled with stardust.'  I thought it stood up on its own without the need for any other major embellishment.

  The birthday has stickles on it in 'Sequins' and stardust has glamour dust.
