Hi All! Sorry my post is so late today.. You probably know it is Zoe's birthday today so the weekend has been so crazy busy and I can't believe it is already 14:20 and the first time i've got to the computer today!Our challenge this week over at the High Hopes blog is up and Anna is asking us to use zig zags on our cards. I pulled out my Martha Stewart punch for this one but you could always get out your sewing machine.
This cute character is Party Donkey and he's holding accessory stamp single present. I have used part of the sentiment Swingin' Birthday. I just love this character and so fun that you can add different accessories to his hoof to personalise your card for the right occasion. I inked up the Happy part of the sentiment then cut it out using the SU word window punch. I also did the same again for Birthday. I then attached them to a sticky note to pop back into the word punch to cut off the excess to fit the word perfectly. The paper is from the Basic Grey Cupcake collection.
While I was colouring my donkey I popped on over to my friend Michelle's blog to look at all her gorgeous donkey's for inspiration. All though he didn't come out quite the same I picked the chocolate colours to resemble her "Freddie". Edit: ok.. just heard from Michelle and she say's my donkey is more like Jazz or Fanci Pants... lol.
I'm so sorry I haven't been to visit your blogs over the last couple of days but hope to visit you tonight :-)
Right.. must get back to the girls who are now playing Wii Sing it.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
