Halloooo! Just a quick post today. My back is a bit better today so I felt up to some crafting. I'm waiting to hear back from the hospital today to see when I can get an x-ray so I'm hoping we'll find out what's wrong soon cos it's getting to be a major pain (literally!)
I made this card for a friend of our's who's just had a little baby boy. They live in Canada now so I want to get it off in the post sharpish!!
I picked this gorgeous hedgie naptime stamp from Penny Black and when I saw that the challenge over at Penny Black at Allsorts was to do an unusual shaped card, I knew instantly what I wanted to do- the problem was just working out how to do it to ensure the whole thing didn't collapse!! I'm really pleased with how it turned out- do you likey?!
Image is coloured with watercolour and lyra pencils and a dab of copics on the daisies. I cut round the image using my decoupage scissors and craft knife in the tricky bits. The sentiment is Papertrey Ink. 
The bottom part of the image is sandwiched between two pieces of cardstock to make up the sentiment to give strength both to the sentiment and image really.
Wheeeeee!
A little close up!
