So, here's my desk this morning.
I have been enjoying a little down time from DT duties and just playing with some stamps that I've had for ages but haven't been shown any ink up until now and I've really enjoyed getting creative.
Santa brought me the crazy birds stamp for Christmas and I've been desperate to play with them so this is the card I've made for my Sister's birthday this week. She's not a bright person, but I am so I'm afraid I've inflicted her with all my favourite distress ink colours, I hope she forgives me!!!!
I've also recently managed to get hold of some Altenew stamps that I've been desperate for. It's taken a bit of practice to get the layering right but I love the results you get from them.
Well, I told you I've been spending every spare moment in the garden so here are a few pics to bore you with before I go and get a fresh cuppa before settling down to my desk hopping.
If you want to share your desk with some lovely people, you can do so HERE.
Enjoy your Wednesday and Happy Crafting.

Your crazy bird card looks fabulous! The colours are super!
But I love your card using the Altenew stamps! I've just got a set of them (with dies) too and I must say I love how nicely they turn out. The stamping is a bit tricky but well worth the effort :)
