Sketch Saturday #56

I'm just back from a rather 'LARGE' combined Father's Day/Birthday lunch for my dad and now I'm too stuffed to do anything at all other than put my feet up and be a couch potato for the rest of the evening.

But before I get myself settled with my needlework, I thought I would show you the card I made this morning .

Sketch Saturday has a fab template this week and I thought it would work well for a Second Birthday card I had to make. In fact it's one of four I have to do for a friend of mine because her daughter has twins.

Here’s the template:-

And here’s my card:-


She asked for a Princess on the card but I didn’t really have anything that I could use in amongst my craft paraphernalia so I had a look round for something that I could download.

I eventually found Cute Daisy May, who fits the bill perfectly I think!

I printed her out three times, once onto plain card and then onto two patterned papers and I ended up doing a combination of colouring, paper piecing and decoupage.

Once again the papers are from my 6 x 6 Basic Grey ‘Wisteria’ pad and I had the chance to use my new Hydrangea punch to make all the little flowers.
