but to do some crafting. My little friend, Katie ( almost 13) is going to Japan at the end of the month for 9 days and has to take a photo album showing a bit about her life here in NZ. A few weeks back she came over to use some of my papers, stamps, flowers etc to get her started doing 6 x 6 scrapbook for her photos and today I had her come round to do some more. She is very talented and has quite an eye for it. So her and I sat at the table and crafted all afternoon. I had the opportunity to get to work on my 10 ATC's for
Hero Arts Swap. I got quite a bit of them done and Katie almost finished her album. Only 2 more pages to go, which she will do at home with some of the papers and bits that I sent her home with. I also gave her the ATC I did yesterday as it seems appropriate - One of the Japanese Doll set. She can give it to her host "sister".
I stamped the HA Design Block - Dots and Flowers in Pansy Impress ink onto the purple card stock. I stamped the doll onto a scrap of white cardstock using Kathy's tip no 2 (
here) - using a stamp positioner and stamping twice to get a super clear and clean image. I'm loving my aqua crayons - and used them to colour in the image ( including putting a bit of eyeshadow on). I added a single pearl on the obi, added the sentiment and the ribbon.
So all in all, a lovely way to spend a wet and miserable day doing something fun and creative.
Thanks for stopping by.
