………….Yes I can make them I just don’t very often but I had to make a card for a 4th birthday, so my ingredients were  stamps – can’t make anything without stamps, pretty papers, nestibilities, punches and a fancy fold I did reach for my DI’s – would be rude not to don’t you think? –  in worn lipstick to ink the edges of the papers etc., also the nestibilities shape.  Choice of stamp was A Little Bit Sketchy range of children by Sheena Douglas .  I just love these very cute children but you can make them grungy too – believe me I have!!! lol.

I chose this stepper card fold for my   main card and customised the size to fit my main image, this is a great shape to make as it is so versatile.  The main image was stamped onto white card and coloured with promarkers, after I cut and embossed the shape with scalloped circle nesties shape I left it in the die and inked the edges with DI which gives a faux layer look.  Ffion’s name (Welsh for Fiona) was added to the back step and happy birthday to the next step, pink and green card were punched and added to the bottom of the card with ribbon and a knot.  Stamps and punches for these were from Stampin’ Up!
