bob the builder

children's birthday cards can be...well...a bit gaudy. for my husband's godson i wanted to make a birthday card that was a bit different. he LOVES bob the builder so i decided to do a pinprick image of bob.

the instructions on how to make a pinprick card can be found here. so easy to do and the end result is pretty special.

i also did a pinprick label for the envelope.

for his birthday present we bought 'the story of the little mole' ... a wonderful poo whodunit! i wrapped it in white paper with brown string. i decorated the wrapping with a decorative teddy bear which i saved from a gift given to our little boy.

this was my first try at a pinprick card and now i'm a little obsessed. no doubt more pinprick cards to follow.
