Dinosaur Birthday!

 Hello Friends and Visitors, hoping you are well and enjoying this Easter weekend. 

Seems ages since  last posted, but here I am with  a birthday card for our little friend  who lives next door, Alejandro, can't believe he's now 4 years old. I remember the day he was brought home from hospital and as it was during covid we couldn't go out to see him, so Eddie his dad held him up at the window for us to see. He's growing up into a fabulous clever little boy, Anyway, here's his card,


He is dinosaur mad, so Alistair drew this image, I couldn't find a dino stamp any where. Watercolours used to colour him, and a selection of  Lavinia foliage stamps.  He thought it was cool.

We're out for lunch tomorrow, thought we'd treat ourselves to a nice Easter lunch.

That's me for now, Happy Easter if you celebrate it, and  not, well have a lovely weekend anyway, take care of yourselves,

He looks a very friendly Dino and perfect for a little lad who has a super name, sounds rather Spanish.

Have a good Easter weekend, a tad chilly down here but some sunshine.

What a touching tribute to Alejandro's growth! Alistair's hand-drawn dinosaur and the lush foliage stamps create a vibrant and personalized birthday card that surely captures his imagination.

Well Alistair drew a wonderful dinosaur and you coloured it beautifully Kate, and it certainly is a 'cool' card with the frame of Lavinia leaves..a brilliant card. x
