From The Heart

Hello everyone here is a little cute card I made today please click on the images to see a bigger version as I really need to try and remember the zoom when taking my photos but come on im new to this photography lark lol.

Whimsy stamps recently had a blog hop and i was lucky enough to be one of the lucky winners.I didn't know which of their new releases I was going to recieve but when Wee Bunny hopped through the letter box I was so pleased how cute is he.Also I was geting a little bored of doing red cards so decided on lilac and lime but I think it works.My local WHSmiths had these 12x12 papers from Dovecraft on offer they are the back to basics ones I think you get like 36 sheets 3 of each design and they were only £2.99 so I grabbed a pack.

products used on my card are:

Stamps:Wee Bunny(Whimsy stamps),Everyday sentiments(Whiff of Joy)

Dies:Deckled rectangle Nestabilities

Papers:Dovecraft Back To Basics

Colouring mediums:Promarkers,Lavender brilliance inkpad

Embellishments:Lace,stickles(ice Lemon),pearls(WOC),heart doily,pearl heart,gems

Punches:Martha Stewart butterfly

Tools:Tim Holtz Paper Distresser

I have distressed the edges of the papers but I then added some stickleds so I am not too sure if its visible to you.

Basket Of Love

Evening all another Lovey Dovey card to share with you,Any house Mouse fans out there will probably know I have alter this one a little as it should be a basket full of grapes but I have made it so there are hearts where the grapes should be so I hope it works.

I have coloured the image with Le Plume pens and a wet paint brush and the hearts are the left over parts of a border punch which I then glazed with glossy accents for a bit of shine.I have added faux stitching for added detail too.All other elements are from my stash.
