By the time I post this she should be on her way.... I'm only a little excited. Hopefully she will have forgiven us by now for lying to her all week!!
I popped to Poundland to buy her a pressie, but found nothing suitable so she has got some more Nicks Tat to clutter up her home......... she is very good at quickly getting it all out of storage when I visit...... she reckons it's always on view, one of these days I'm going to give her a surprise visit and see if she can get it all out from under the stairs in the time it takes me to walk up the drive!!
Anyway......... here is the Tat...........
I found these lovely blank boxes just ripe for altering, some walnut ink/all my distress crackle paint (gawd i must luv her!!) and some copper later and here are the results. Copper is such fun to play with, but jolly hard work... the results are worth it now. Heating it and adding copper patina produces stunning colours.
a pendant... I made two one for Sparky and one for another dear friend, both very different and I left it to George to decide who got which one.... If they don't like them they will have to get together and swap them!
Card.......Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum.. dunno why I had to use this stamp LOL
gawd she is such high maintenance she insisted on a BRAK (Birthday Random ATC of Kindness)as well!! I bought some really cute mini clock bits from Tanda stamps who I can highly recommend , so just had to use one on her ATC
Well as they say, That's all Folks
Happy Birthday Sparky,
I hope you have a lovely weekend, we all treasure you and John
Thanks for sharing your Birthday with us
(not that you had much choice in the matter, but you could have done a runner!!)
xxxxxxxxxx
