So Sweet Syeda... (Happy Blogaversary to me)!

Hello everyone!...

well - today is a bit of a thing!

Tanglemouse is 5 years old today!

I feel a bit emotional about it because starting this blog and really committing to my colouring and card making has been a complete life changer!

Thank you everyone (and the special ones - you know who you are)! for the enduring love, support and friendship!

This is the second of two blog posts today in celebration! (:

I was absolutely over the moon to see that my friend 

Barbara Sproatmeyer

is designing for wonderful

Whimsy Stamps

I absolutely love her Polka Dot Pals collection, they are so beautiful,

here is a card I made with 

Syeda Clear Stamps Set

- because who can resist a spotted pig right???

I die cut a rectangle of Kraft Card with the largest die from the

Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die Set

and blended Catherine Pooler Ink in Samba over it.  The cloud template was created with a die from the 

Grass and Cloud Edger Die Set

I then die cut some strips of Kraft card for the ground using the 

Wavy Edgers Die Set

and the 

Wonky Stitched Rectangles Die Set

I stamped beautiful Syeda onto card suitable for alcohol markers 

Make It Colour Blending Card by Elaine Hughes - Marker Geek

coloured her with Copics and cut her out.

Skin - E04, E11, E00, E000
Eyes - YG03
Hair - BV04, N6, N8, 100, Black Pencil
Clothes - R05, R02, R12, YR000, E43, E41, White Gel Pen
Spotted Pig! - W8, W6, W4, W2, E37, E35, E33, R12

I then fixed Syeda to the right hand side of the card design with 

Crafty Foam Tape

and added twine which I secured at the back with tape.

With Black Ink I stamped the too sweet sentiment from the 

Happy Headlines Clear Stamps Set

in the top left hand corner as shown

I layered the design onto a piece of design paper from the 

Mermaid 6x6 Paper Pack 

and added some

Summer Breeze Enamel Dots

to finish.

 Please have a good look around the

Happy Crafting
