A Birthday Whale for Maya

Whale, pink it is.   

What could be more fitting than a pink whale and purple umbrellas for Maya.  We all know how much little girls enjoy pink and purple.  I think that it is a given.  Maybe that’s why we ladies of a certain age can’t get enough purple in our wardrobe.

Before I continue though, I would like to boast a bit.  I wrote an article for Ezine titled, “Where do I start to design a hand-crafted card?” and it has now been published.  You can check out HERE

Now, back to the birthday whale. 

This card uses 2 stamp sets from the Spring Catalogue which will expire on May 31st.  So if there is something that you really want, hop on over to my ON-LINE STORE to order or send me an EMAIL.  I will be placing an order at the end of the month.

The umbrellas from the Rain or Shine stamp set were stamped with Perfect Plum on Perfect Plum DSP from the Subtles Designer Series Pack and then fussy cut with the Paper Snips.  Both the umbrella handles and the water spouts ( ok one is an alphabet spout) were aligned to the whale with the Stamp-a-ma-jig. The Stamp-a-ma-jig is a handy tool for two-step stamping and can be used for both the clear mount and the wood mount stamps.

So that’s it for today, Happy 4th Birthday Maya.

Happy Stamping
