Snappy birthday!

Hello lovely people,

 I am really excited to be off to the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford today...and ironically, it's finally scheduled to rain!

So, while I hide under an umbrella either for shade or protection from the rain, here's my Dies to Die For DT card.

I know it was a little while ago but I did promise a third card to complete my trio of beachy/underwater critters cards and here it is!

I'm not even sure I'd be upset if this little crab came and nipped my toes...he's just too adorable!

It's not really visible in the photo but I've added a little glossy accents to his eyes to make them shine :-)

I really enjoy finding ways to personalise cards and with the crab holding his claws in the air it just seemed natural to add in the number...how cute?

Totally jawsome!

Hello lovely people,

Normal service has been resumed and I'm back to my regular Friday post for Dies to Die For - I guess I've just been a busy bee this past week!

Well, I had a play earlier in the week with the little MFT fish from the latest release, so now it's time for a bigger fish!

This little shark is really quite adorable I think!

I'm not done with the underwater critters yet; there's another one waiting in the wings; what will it be?!

Something fishy...

Hello lovely people,

Another working week almost finished so that must mean another Dies to Die For DT card from me!

There's been something fishy going on in my craft room this week as the June MFT release included several fab underwater themed stamp sets.  They all co-ordinate perfectly so of course I just had to have them all ;-)

I've given these 3 gorgeous little fishies an inky background to swim across, using my Distress Oxides.  The fish are all from the same set, which also has LOADS of other cute fish to choose from :-)

I discovered that stitched 'hillside' borders also make fabulous wavy edges for that ocean feel - lol!
