I love lazy days and Facebook Lives with Sweet November Stamps

Hi ya everyone!  I had so much fun creating this slimline card using several digital stamps from Sweet November Stamps; I used September Fairy Tot, Lambert, Wade and two bunnies Chase and Nibbles.  The images were colored in Copic markers.  The background sky was inked with Catherine Pooler and the hills were cut with Lawn Fawn Stitched Hills die.  The slimline die is called Marquee and is from Whimsy.  This was made during a LIVE video on Facebook that you can find HERE.  The sentiment is from MFT!

For My Special Somebunny with Paperie Ink

Hi ya everyone!  Today I'm sharing a new shaker card I made with the adorable little stamp set called My Somebunny from Paperie Ink.  The set also comes with little cute chicks but I decided to just use the potted bunnies for this card.  The Postage Slimline Die is from Whimsy Stamps.  The images were colored in Copics and the background was inked with Catherine Pooler It's A Boy.

You Are Pawsome!!!

Hi ya everyone!!!  I've been so excited to share this adorable card I made with Evelin T Designs Sneaky Kitty stamp set!  Aren't they just too cute peaking out of every leaf.  I used Copics to color this scene.  Each kitty became a tiger kitty.  

I decided to use fun colors for the plants to offset the colors of the cats.  In the end, I also added a frame using dies from Whimsy Stamps.  I colored the sky blue and felt like it was way too much with the image being lower.  I used the LDRS Creative Stencil Rainy Day to add some clouds!  Last I added some Nuvo Cloud 9 and a few sequence.

Oh!  I also stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.
