Simple Birthday Badge

I’m really not into making cards at the moment, goodness only knows why, but this is what I made for my Sister-In-Law's birthday instead.

As you can see, there’s not an awful lot to it…….. 

.......... just a metal birthday pin from Paperchase (£3), a tiny canvas from Poundland, a Dymo tape sentiment, a few stars and a little faux stitching.

….. Poundland seem to be stocking “proper painting stuff” at the moment, including miniature Daler and Rowney 5cms x 5cms stretched canvas and at only 50p each (also available in black) they are a no brainer craft wise, even though, aghhhhh, I had vowed not to buy any more stuff after my recent sort  out/tidy up, however, I did buy six white and four black ones …… I have a couple of ideas already so hopefully they will all get used by Christmas.

I am also intrigued by the idea of using the back of the canvas too, a few people have used similar frames to create a sort of shadow box .........

...... so, I am thinking a couple of coats of white paint is all it would need to transform the back ...... I just need to find something small enough, like a resin embellishment to create a scene, hmmmmm I did have some small snowmen once upon a time, I wonder if I have any left?
