I've got so many LOTV stamps that are sat waiting to be used, so I decided to use one today. I didn't let myself buy any stamps from the last couple of releases because it was getting a bit silly really... at least if I start using them I can justify buying more lol!
I'm not sure about this card really - I couldn't seem to stop embellishing once I'd started! It'll probably end up being my mum's birthday card as she likes cards with lots of detail. Very organised for me - her birthday's not til next month! This stamp (I think) is called Mini Messages - you get the bunny image and 4 little sentiments to stamp on his sheet. Papers are GCD Studios 'ella blue' with lots of inking around the edges, flowers are mostly Wild Orchid - all started out white and I've used various inks and sprays to change the colour. Swirls cut with sizzix dies, butterfly cut with a Stampin' Up die. Pearls, ribbon and wooden shape (sprayed with gold spray & sparkle) all from my stash. Card blank is 7" square.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- I Love Promarkers - cute & cuddly
- Papertake Weekly - die cute special
- Creative Inspirations - swirls & pearls
- Everybody Art - shabby
- Dream Valley - anything goes
If you should happen to use one of your un-inked stamps or digis this week, feel free to add your creations to the linky below and I'll pop over to see what you've made :o)

Hi Lisa, such a gorgeous card - love the colours and the paper. I've got that stamp too (and haven't inked it yet!).
Have just linked up my post using one of my un-inked stamps. Well, it might have actually seen ink once - to test it - but never made a card with it.

Hi Lisa
Wow your Mum will adore it. I love all the layers and the vintage feel. I am guilty of buying stamps and not using for ages I made a card using the Papermania Urban set that I had bought well before Christmas. You just have to have them - don't you?
Anyway hope you have a wonderful 2012.
Hugs Ali x

This is absolutely beautiful: I think it's got just the right amount of "stuff" on it. Beautiful papers andcute image - I'll be linking up this week for sure... I just added another fifteen digis to my unused stash (I've got 200+ now, that means I could use four a week for a YEAR!!) ten of the new ones were a challenge prize though, so I'm not THAT bad!??!
