Just a note...........

Hi,

I wanted to enter Cute Card Thursday Things that grow challenge. With these baby rabbits, but I ran out of time. So I am posting it here anyway. This is one of the stamps I bought this week and I fell in love with it. It's by House-Mouse Designs, I stamped it with versafine black and coloured in the image with derwent coloursoft pencils.

I distressed with vintage photo, and mounted it on bazzill and my favorite papers at the moment My Mind's Eye. The sentiment is from Aud Designs I stamped this with Adirondack Pesto. I added a touch of Star Dust stickles on the wings.

Thanks for looking and all you kind comments.

This is my second Kadoodle stamp. Designed by Sandra Dry go look at her cool blog for more inspiration.

I painted Dan with silver paint dabber and added dots of stickles, and added gold dabber to his hat. The beard I used Liquid Applique and before I heated it I sprinkled with Angel Dust art glitter. I glossed his wand, and used Quickutz for the exploding cracker and corners. I layer all on Bazzill and ric-rac at the bottom.

Tilda & Co Challenge - Bugs

Good Morning,

Hope everyone is ok, I am posting this morning my challenge entry for http://magnoliachallengeblog.blogspot.com/.

We had to add bugs to our card etc., so I first stamped Tilda in Versafine black. I coloured her in with Derwent coloursoft pencils. I sticky fixed her onto some bazzill and distressed this with ranger spiced marmalade.

I layered that onto oval of crate paper which I also distressed with spiced marmalade. Then the same with the next layer of crate paper.

I crossed stitched oval onto card. The EmbelliScrap flower I distressed with tattered rose, then used gold glimmer mist and added spiced marigold dots with hero arts stamp.

Thanks for looking.

The theme is grunge, so for this card I have distressed everything with vintage photo ink, I also added glimmer mist to the heart and tilda. I have added bits of vellum, but it's difficult to see them. The swirls with the flower are die cut with quickutz.

Thanks for looking and to everyone who has left me a comment I thank you, I appreciate them very much.
