The birds and the bees for my birthday
Hello everyone it's 1 April and my birthday too!
It is a biggy for me this year...today I am six.......ty. Gulp how on earth did that happen? Do enjoy a virtual glass of champagne. It's been in the fridge to chill.
It's my 2nd Lockdown birthday and sadly all the plans we had cannot take place but we are safe and coming out of Lockdown slowly so I am not complaining. Celebrations will have to wait. Our family have still have not celebrated last Christmas together and we have all our pressies unopened so perhaps I can have a 60th Christmas party in the summer!
Of course being the first of the month I have 2 design team posts today for our new challenges. First up is my design team post for Country View where our challenge theme for this month is "The birds and the bees". So we would like you to share projects where the focus is on birds and/or bees.
As always there is a fab £20 voucher up for grabs for one lucky randomly selected winner to spend on the website. You can find all the details of the challenge and more examples made by my talented teamies here.
So as it is my birthday I decided that I had to make a birds and bees birthday card.
This is what I got up to. I made a distress ink and oxide background
I stamped my Visible Image Life is beautiful humming bird and the flower from their Create Chaos set onto inky mop up card and cut them out. Next I stamped the birthday sentiment into the corner and some stamping behind the flower ready to add the flower

Dreams of sunshine birthdays with Visible Image
Good morning it's time for my fortnightly design team post for Visible Image. For today's make I was inspired by my upcoming "not going to happen big birthday plans". I have a big birthday coming up on Thursday and all the plans we made a few years ago have gone out of the window courtesy of Mr Corona.
We had planned a celebratory trip and a lovely meal out .
This is a distant memory of a meal out in our beloved Rhodes 2 years ago.
I worked with these sets;

Butterfly silhouettes for Country View
Hello friends, I am back today with my 2nd design team make for our current "Silhouettes" challenge over at Country View. So we would like you to share projects where the focus is a silhouette image. The perfect stamps for me to use are of course Visible Image as many of their stamps are silhouettes. Susan has a good stock of their stamps here. If any are out of stock just add your email address and you will be notified when they are back in.
