I used Basic Grey Serenade and Hero Arts/Basic Grey Fresh Cut Raindrops Background Stamp. I also used my Silhouette Cameo Machine ,,,, brilliant invention that is :-)


I inked the raindrops stamp with Simon's Exclusive Sea Glass ink  for the background, I love this stamp and have been using it quite a lot recently :-)

Isn't that little chick adorable, and the treat dispenser, both of these designs are available in the Silhouette Studio. 


I used the Silhouette Cameo to write the sentiment too.

Now for a more 'boyish' version, don't you love this cool dude with his shades !! :-)


Wishing you all a very Happy Easter :-)

Simon's New 'Mother's and Father's' Release Card

I am so lucky !! the lovely Heidi at Simon Says Stamp sent me some of the new products from the Mother's and Father's release and I couldn't wait to open them up !

THANKS HEIDI :-)


I inked up some plain white cardstock using Victorian Velvet and Tattered Rose Distress inks, I then sprayed with Heidi Swap Blush and Dylusions White Linen inks. The photo hasn't really captured the lovely shimmer of this ,,,, but it is gorgeous IRL :-)

I then die cut the 'Love Mum' and made several cuts of the 'Mum' and 'Heart' sections to add some extra dimension, for the top layer I used some silver glitter paper.

For the butterfly I used a script background stamp, inked with Victorian Velvet for the solid butterfly and used the same ink to colour the delicate wings. I then used a Wink Of Stella Clear Brush to give the wings a lovely delicate coat of glittery goodness :-)


Thanks for looking :-) I appreciate all of your comments so please leave me one :-)
