Birthday Book


Finally finished this Birthday book that I started at  Michelle Last's Bicester Craft Day (back in October) for my mum's birthday last week (her fav colour is purple).


I filled it chock full of handmade cards (there's space for 12, but I doubled up on some of the pages)  and she really loved it :)

I even got a chance to try out my first giant stamp- the "book plate" in elegant eggplant ink. It's big enough to be a card on its own, after one print (and a little embellishment) but I just used it as a book plate for the inside cover this time.

Here's a couple more cards I put inside:
