I came home yesterday from a lovely long weekend in London with my daughter, Jo. We should have been at concert on Saturday, but it was cancelled for a second time due to Covid, so we decided to keep the hotel booking anyway. Jo asked what I would like to do or would I like her to surprise me. I went for the surprise and she planned a packed weekend including a West End Show, a trip on a barge to Camden Market, a ride underground on the Mail Rail train, a walking tour of Hampstead, with the highlight being the climb over the Millennium Dome (I still can't believe I did that!), after crossing the River Thames in a cable car. The view from the top of the dome was amazing.
So onto my card, which I can post on my blog now I know it's been received. It was made for someone who loves pink and hedgehogs.
The background was stencilled with a Lavina 'Feather Leaf' stencil and Distress Ink. The stamps are also from Lavina, 'The Wallace Family' and 'Mushroom Lantern Set'. I added some extra colour to the mushroom using the same pink ink pad. I put some of the ink on an acrylic block, spritzed it with a little water and painted over the head of the mushroom with a paintbrush. The sentiment is from a Happy Little Stampers set of stamps. Three pink pearls finished off my card.
I am joining in the following challenges.
Wow! This is absolutely amazing! Beautiful design and stenciling - love the hedgehog family!
