Brambly Hedge is a series of illustrated children's books by Jill Barklem, based around a community of self-sufficient mice who live together in the tranquil surroundings of the English countryside. This week, Crafter's Companion is releasing several stamp sets and papercrafting CDs that feature images from this beloved series ... and I've got a sneak peek for you.
My card was made using Rocker Card Images from the papercrafting CD ... the color choices and detail are amazing (see how the images have a shadow on the bottom right for the appearance of dimension).
The instructions for the card were to fold the base in half (like a rocking horse) and then attach the circular image where it extended over the fold ... however (never being one to follow instructions) when I cut out the images, I liked how it looked un-folded, so I attached the center circle using a small brad & used a glue-dot to adhere the paper bow on top of the brad.
So ... when you swivel the top circle on the brad you can see the hidden birthday message underneath.
