As usual, I put off trying one of these because I thought it'd be really hard to do, and it's really not - a bit fiddly, but otherwise fine. I've forgotten to find the tutorial I watched first though, so I'll link up to that later.
**Edit - here's the tutorial I followed, there's also a link to the matching video tutorial if you find it easier that way**
I've used one of the gorgeous new images from the Easter Collection 2 from DigiStamp Boutique - you could win this set if you play along with my Waste Not Wednesdays challenge this week. I've coloured this cute bunny with promarkers and flexmarkers. The papers are 'cute as a button' from Raspberry Rd, printed onto linen card and inked with 'new sprout' memento ink. The sentiments on the front and on the tag inside are both from the Mother's Day Set from DigiStamp Boutique. I used the MS scallop dot punch on the inside panels - I would've liked to have used the doily punch but it just chews up linen card and quite a few other things unfortunately! Flowers are a mix of stash and Wild Orchid Crafts, ribbons from my stash - the pink one on the front is lovely soft velvet :o)
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Totally Gorjuss - spring
- One Stitch at a Time - girly
- Moving Along With The Times - special lady
- Colour Create - pink, blue, sage & white/ cream (not sure if my green is quite right so please delete me if not!)
- Delightful Challenges - someone special
- Simon Says Stamp - bit o' green
- I Love Promarkers - anything goes
- My Mum's Craft Shop - mum's the word
- Papertake Weekly - one for the girls... or mum
Hope all you mums have had a lovely day being spoilt... Huge hugs to all those who need them today, I know it's not an easy day for some. My main present (the Magnolia spring club stamps) obviously didn't arrive as they've not even started sending them out yet, but I did get some tulips and chocs and a lovely card, and we've spent a few hours at my mum's so it's been nice. Hope you're having a good evening :o)
