Possum Easter - Colour of Love

Hi here to day to share with you a card I made for my easter showcase at

COLOUR OF LOVE

The imade i have use from the talented Heather Valentin is called 

Bunny Possum Easter Fun available from the shop Here

I saw this design of card on another blog where she used a strip of card for the base and had the image and sentiment hanging over the edge which showcase the image. i thought how clever and how you could use up all thoses strips of designer paper left in your stash.

I colour the image with promarkers and used inks for the sky.

Added a few gems for sparkle

A strip of dp and some mesh ribbon to finish off.

Hope you like and dont forget we would love you to come and share any of Heathers work over on her fan page on facebook.

hello there hope you have had a good day.

I am here with my inspirational post.

Today I am revisiting a stamp set that Jo first launched on Create and Craft. Oh do look out on their schedule as I am sure Jo will be making another appearance very soon.

The set I am working with today is called Mew are Pawsome and you can purchase them from Jo's shop - Time For Tea Designs.

While your there checkout the new digital stamp for that instant fix.

I stamped and coloured one of the kittys with Versafine and Promarkers.

The window frame is a Tonic die.

Placed onto some DP and added a little ribbon and bow.
