How to make a horse look like a zebra?

Give me a picture and some colouring stuff, that's all. 

Well, at least a brown zebra.

It doesn't look this bad in real life. Honest! ;)

Golden Pram

Here we go, finally made a pram worth blogging (properly). Today the weather was sunny and again garden table was calling my name. 

Packed my crafty stuff and made these. Wheel trims are Spellbinders Sprightly Sprockets and I think they're spot on! Icing are those pearls in the middle of the trims.

Hood is made of eight strips.The easiest way to get lace nicely set was sewing.

Bottom is gold paper punched using Fiskars embossing border punch.

Mobile of course (sort of) is satin ribbon and golden hearts punched and glued two together (2 big ones and 2 small ones). End of handlebar is a button.

Hehe, hood was glued and then I realized I left BLUE brads there. Too late to rip those off. I punched 2 tiny stars and glued them on top of the brads. Desperate times call for desperate measures. ;)

It Is Pouring Down - Summer

We had fabulous few sunny days and now it's pouring down. Anyway, it's good for my apple tree and no need to wash the car, because rain does it. Hahah!

Today is a big day for The Queen Elizabeth II, but have to say, it really is raining on her parade! I was watching happenings in London Thames, and poor poor people, they are like drowned rats. Raining cats and dogs. Well, enough of rain related quotes, right?

Girl With a Sign is sweet digital stamp from Mo Manning and because I couldn't decide the sentiment, I left it blank and also removable. :)

I like her shoes.

Girl in Pink

Really ground breaking card today :)
Tried some new things with old things and this is it:

New proper 300gsm kraft with beautiful stamp and Dorcas' tutorial.
I know I have said this few times, but Dorcas creates the most beautiful cards and her colorine is outstanding. Not only that, but she always shares tips and makes really good tutorials.

Core'dinations embossed using my gorgeous Fiskars plates and a bit of sanding.
Bottom blue(ish) for the sea,
middle is grass
top of course is for sunlight.
Lace is just because!
Sewing is one easy and great way to keep everything together.

One close up to see what I did with the skin and shading.

I wanted to make a bit special card for the lady,

who is always friendly and warm.

She hasn't been well lately and I miss her seeing her doing her garden

Made few roses again. Mulberry paper, die and glue. That's all.
