Tomorrow is my mother's birthday and I wanted something nice for her and it's her 65th birthday. That's a big deal in the Netherlands, because then you retire. Despite the party I organized for my parents last weekend (thanks for all the sweet messages I received about it! Super sweet of you!), I don't want to come empty-handed. My mother loves chocolate, so I brought some chocolate for her. She literally eats that everyday!
I'm entering this tag to the following challenges:
I had so much fun making this tag, although I wasted 2 other tags making it. The Heidi Swapp Ghost Shapes are a bit to thick for this technique, and I used a clear stamp that was to soft. And finally I got it! I love the techniques in Tim's Book.
Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!
Hugs,
Sandra
