Hmmmm.....I had hoped to get plenty of art done today, but it wasn't to be. We had a Play Day at the Cubby Hole, but for me it was more of a Play afternoon, and a fairly short one at that.
On the plus side, I have managed to make a birthday card for my youngest's girlfriend who, like me is a Coheed & Cambria fan. Whilst mooching around the shop I found the dragonfly stamp* and the pewter charm, both of which fit in with C&C's imagery.
I've also covered an old book with a layer of paint, and start hacking my way through the inside to make a niche.
Hope you're all having a good weekend.

That's a really nice birthday card! Love the dragonfly accents and my all time favourite - "honey combe" effect! Hope you are well, my Friend! x
ReplyDeletePs. Can't wait to see the finished book!
Awesome card and so special too!
ReplyDeleteI love dragonflies, what a great card.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great card--love the dragonflies! And I've never tried a book with a niche, but it's on my list :)
ReplyDeleteThat certainly is a lovely birthday card, Nigel. Dragonflies are very special so I'm sure she will love it!

Was lovely here too, just a misty start! (This is in response to your comment.)
ReplyDeleteNot heard of C & C before!! Looked them up, but doubtful they will be my COTea.
The swirly stamp is very pretty. The charm looks like some I have in my collection of bits. I really like your palette of choice here and what a lovely birthday card.
First of all I thought,...for his youngest girlfriend...how many has he got...then I read it again.
Have a great day scooping out your pages;)
