A Handmade Birthday From The Heart

 We had an event this week!

    My Husband had a birthday! What is WITH these things.....they happen every year!! I enjoy spoiling him as much as I can which this year included drawing him a portrait of Gizmo, his companion cat for nearly eighteen years. I've had to be furtive since he's been at home as he has eagle eyes and an aggressively inquiring nature! With this being my priority, my tradition of creating home made cards and gift wrap was left, by necessity, to the night before the Big Day. 

    There are so many beautiful gift cards out there, and I love to find the most perfect ones, but still, for nearest and dearest I prefer to inflict my own designs upon them as an exression of love - whether they like it or not! My little pictures gave Husband a card from each of our fur babies (written by their own fair paws with bestest spellingness, naturally) and a classic bigger dancing Leonard from all of us:

About as normal as you get with Sapphira

 

Another happy, dancing Leonars, this one just from him to Daddy

 

The bits of gift wrap that haven't already met the recycling...

 

    Quick and happy inking with a splash of watercolour and presto! Cards for Husband on his awesome special day! He loves them.... I love him....cats love him....an all round happy day! 

 

    For anyone who's not tried gifting homemade cards I highly recommend it. Give it a go, and if you like, please share your work with me - I'd love to see it!
