Bo Bunny layout

Good evening crafters!

Today, i have another inspirational layout to share with you all. I seem to be making just as many layouts these days as cards and i am having fun trying out some new techniques and using these gorgeous papers and embellishments. For this layout, all the papers are from the Bo Bunny Country Garden collection. The chipboards are by Dusty Attic and the inks are Tim Holtz distress ink and Tattered Angels glimmermists. I also used Ranger 'bridal' embossing powder to give the chipboard some extra sparkle and an EK Success heart border punch.

My 1st Easel card!

Good morning all,

Well, i have a new addition to my card family today, my first ever 'easel' card!  i have always admired easel cards but until now i have given them a wide berth.  To me, they looked way too complicated so to be honest, i didnt even give them a second thought however last night i decided tonights the night, i gotta give it a go and several hours later i made my first easel card.  If i am honest, i am quite proud of my attempt but i have made it into a Birthday card for my best friend (my Mum) so i cannot share it with you all yet! It is completely different from anything else i have done from the design, the stamping, the colours etc.  All will be revealed towards the end of March!
However, you know me, i cannot leave things alone in my crafty room so this morning i made another one! Totally different from last nights, more my usual style. Here it is.... my 1st easel card on blog land!

Just For You

Hello all, hope all is well.  I said yesterday that i was going to make a Tilda card today and here you have it! I got her all inked up this morning, coloured her with copics and this is the final result.  I swithered about the addition of a butterfly but decided against it.  Thought i would let the image do the talking and didnt want to crowd her with embellishments. Anyway, this is it............
