Hello! Today I want to share a fun little project I made for my son. I was inspired by a lovely ABC tag book that Ivy from the Hero Arts pool posted last week. I decided to go simple with mine, as my son is 23 months old, so by the time a whole ABC book becomes useful for him it will probably be quite damaged and distressed as only a toddler knows how to do it ;) So I made just the vowels in spanish and I'm going to cover them with clear adhesive paper so that they last around for a while and remain water-milk-juice-drools proof.
As you can see, A is for Arbol (tree), E is for elefante (no translation required), I is for isla (island), O is for oso (bear) and U is for uvas (grapes).
I think that this is the best use I've ever given to my Hero Arts Small Variety Alphabet set, which by the way is a great value clear set! You get 3 different alphabets in it. The rest of the stamps are also HA with Crate Paper (tree), Sass Lass (elephant and little birdie on the island), Technique Tuesday (the island and sea waves were created from their Hanging by a Thread set) and Basic Grey (the leaves and stem from the grapes).
I also used my Dove blender pen and Tim Holtz distress inks slightly rubbed on the edges with the foam applicator.
Super easy and yet lovely for a toddler! It feels good to be able to give my son something useful created by mama. Thing is I own a good sewing machine and I LOVE sewing but I'm not good at it. So stamped goods it will be! :D
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely week!
Ps: There's a new challenge starting today at the HA blog. You have to create something inspired in the sneak peeks from their new products, which are all awesome, by the way!
