Easter Murray - Throwback Thursday

Good morning I recently came across the blog Throwback Thursday and I have to say originally i posted incorrectly as many seem to be doing. The idea is that you post a card from way back with some memory. This therefore can NOT be a new card. As so many challenges do not allow back linking this is so different. Well as the challenge card featured was Easter I thought I would share a old easter card with you. I still have this card and couldnt bear to part with. You know when you make a card and really like and are pleased with something on it. Well this was one. I dont think I have ever got her hair like I did that day. I remember sitting in my kitchen colouring it as if it was yesterday and cant believe it was 2 years ago.

Well I hope you like it as much as I have and maybe I will send out this year and hope that the person receiving it enjoys it as much. Here is the link to the original post HERE

So onto my card which I have used

Isabel - Bunny in a bucket

I have gone with a white on white theme with just this wonderful stamp being coloured.

I have used loads and loads of glitter . The die cut is a new memorybox which those that follow my blog will have seen loads of times glittered. Cheerlyn polysian sails frame glittered once again. Image xcut with a Xcut oval. Embossing folder background, satin/organza ribbon and a easter sentiment. Base card has a mat which I haveused double sided tape round and then glittered. I told loads of glitter. Finished off with some pearls.

I can see this being used at easter and spring for many many years to come. Love her hat dont you.

Ok now you can go and take a peep at the other stamp and this one features Josh. i just have to have him he looks so full of life.

Thanks for popping by and have a fabulous day.
