Hiya lovelies and a Happy February to you all ..... Where oh where did January go?? It normally seems such a loooooong month, but has gone in a flash this year! One step closer to spring .... yay!!
Today I am showcasing this adorable digital stamp called 'Alicia Loves Reading' and you can find her here at Alicia's Little Shop, along with a few other gorgeous little stamps!
How cute is she?
I distressed my backing papers, edged with chalk and added cheesecloth behind it. I coloured Alicia with copics as follows:
Hair/Eyes/Book: E35, E37, E49, E57
Skin: E00, E11, E21, R11
Trousers/Lips: R00, R11, RV42
I then paper pieced her top, headband and chair to co-ordinate with the backing papers! Ooh, I do LOVE cutting stuff out :)
The little floral arrangement is made up of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, a mixture of die cut leaves from Dies to Die for and Joy Crafts as well as a couple of pearl pins.
I printed the sentiment from my computer - love this sentiment .... I am in the process of finishing my craft room and saw this sentiment in vinyl, which you transfer onto your wall for added decor! Thought it would be quite apt for this little card too :) I made the tag using some jute twine so that it would 'hang' from the flower - kinda like a picture frame - then added gorgeous shabby seam binding. Twine, cheesecloth and shabby seam binding all came from Live and Love Crafts.
I would like to enter this little make into the following:
