Some bunny...

Today I have two little cards to share. Both using images from the DigiStamp Boutique. The first, a gorgeous vase of flowers. Perfect for Mother's Day or a simple Thank You. I printed out two images and decoupaged some elements, very effective.

The second, a fun bunny. Great for kids at Easter. Also available in the Boutique is a great set of sentiments, like the one I have used here. Remember that if you make a card using one of the Boutique's images you can enter the customer competition, all the details for that are here.

(see this post here).
Well, jab me with a pokey tool, I made the cover again!
This time with the really cute Don and Daisy range of stamps.
Inside I have seven cards in the pull out and keep section along with instructions on how to make them.
So if you are after a good crafty read it's on the shelves now.

Distressed and Inky!

Fancied a wee change from cards and so when I saw this weeks challenge over on Simon Says - 'Tag It' I thought - the very thing!

The background is stamped with Hero Arts 'watch gears' and distress embossed. Then inked all over with 'tea dye'. The butterflies and text are Papermania stamps. The girl is a digistamp from Wonderland Stamps. A few pearls and seam binding to finish.

Now I'm off to scrub my inky fingers!!

It's Tuesday.....

....and that means there are new bears!

Bunny bears, sewing bears, fishing bears and flying bears.
All very cute.

For my card I used Teddy Bea all dressed up as an Easter bunny. The papers are by Paper Cellar. I cut the eggs from a sheet of the decorative paper and the borders were punched courtesy of Martha Stewart.

I am entering my card into this weeks Digital Tuesday Challenge - use your stash.
