one of my more odd posts!!
Okay I guess I need to explain this one a bit. For the past few years the village where I live has held a scarecrow hunt. The theme this year is books, so this is my model of James and the Giant Peach. For a laugh (!?!) I decided to crochet my model of James, I didn't use a pattern, I just made him up as I went along. The peach is a giant beach ball covered in fabric with extra stuffing, and a knitted leaf.
The models are dotted round the village in people's garden, which they very generously let us do, to raise money for the primary school. I have made this little card as a thank you to the person who is allowing James and his peach into their garden. I love these Rose Garden Papers, and with the touch of red ribbon I think this very simple card has a "cath kidston"esque touch
