Mary Poppins birthday card

My friend Di's birthday is this week.  She works as a nanny, and she sings (I know her through choir - actually, multiple choirs!) So I decided to make her a Mary Poppins bookmark and card for her birthday.
Gotta love it when you have an idea for a card or bookmark or whatever, you make it, and it turns out exactly like you wanted. Awesome.



I made the bookmark first, and loved it so much, I decided to make a matching card.  And when I had them both together, I danced a little jig, I was so happy with how they turned out!!

I made a video of how I made the card - here 'tis!

PS I apologise for the video being a little bit dim in some parts - I made it in the evening, and I don't have a studio with special lights or anything, I just do my best with what I have :)

Thanks for visiting :)

      Hi, Jingle - it's not a stamp - if you fast forward to about 2min15secs into the video, you'll see what I did for the image of Mary Poppins 😉
