Today’s card is for my son’s birthday – although he’s now in his thirties, he was obsessed with dinosaurs when he was small so I just couldn’t resist going for a card that I’ve based on the Jurassic Park films logo, using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘no bones about it’ set.

Welcome to my crafty blog and a colourful card using Claritystamp’s ‘butterfly wreath’ stamps. I’ve got this set in both sizes (it would have been rude not to!) – this card uses the smaller A6 set.
