At the weekend, it is a friend's little boy's 4th birthday and he is mad on dinosaurs. So I ahve bought lots of dinosaur stash only to be really disappointed with it all when it came yesterday. But I set to work and spent a good 2 hours last night and then have been up since 5.30am this morning trying to make something. I really do not like it at all - I don't think I have ever spent so long on a card and been so unpleased with the final result. .
The papers are all Basic Grey Archaic and the top half of the card is stamped randomly with a Bampop Dinosaur stamp (disappointment number 1). The dinosaurs images are chipboard cut outs that I have covered in paper and inked the edges in gold (disappointment number 2). I have used some ribbon, liquid pearls in gold and some buttons to brighten the card up.
I am almost too ashamed to give this card, but it has taken me over 3 hours to make and the recipient is only 4 so what does he know :-)
I have also bought some Anya stamps which are fab and I have just coloured my first one in, in Magenta Pink, Cyan, Sky Blue, Yellow and Lime Green - took 5 minutes and looks fabberoonie!!!! Out to the cinema tonight but will definitely being playing with these new stamps tomorrow.
