So who knew that the collective noun for a group of elephants is a 'parade'? Makes sense when you see them walking all trunk to tail in a dignified row. So what's this got to do with craft, I hear you say?
Well my lovely sister is soon to have a baby and I've been making her a heap of thank you cards for all the kind people who are showering her with presents already. Like Christmas cards, I had to keep them quite simple to get the quantity done so I reverted back to my favourite
Humphrey stamp and coloured them with promarkers, cut them out with a nestie, stamped a
Paula Pascual 'thank you' and stuck it all together et voilà!
So here they are. Sorry the light is so bad - it was crazy weather yesterday and taking indoors was too dark (I get too much reflection from the flash so prefer outside) and then outside the sun was coming through the willow trees so I was getting a dappled effect. I so need some photography lessons to get the best piccies I can with my camera! Anyway, at least the close ups are better. And I can't complain about the sun shining through the willows. I'm so privileged to be living next to a canal with beautiful willow trees and wildlife galore.
I actually really love the simple design so you might be seeing more basic cards in the future! I've not been brilliant health-wise recently so these are a little overdue but at least they have been posted to my sister before the baby has been born!! I'm also working on some Peter Rabbit cards that will be winging their way to her soon as well so keep a look out here for their appearance shortly.
I am beyond excited about meeting the little munchkin when the time comes... I love being an Aunty.
