Sharing a Biscuit

It's Annette here again today with card to share on behalf of The Stamp Basket.  I know I only posted yesterday, but I couldn't help but be inspired by these beautiful Nitwits papers.

This card is so 'me' with the soft blues and white snowflakes.  The backing papers are from the Nitwits Joyful Hearts collection and the quality is utterly amazing.  When I call it backing 'paper', it is even thicker than my card base and just feels gorgeous.  I really had to force myself to use it because it just felt too good to cut up with its lovely fabric appearance.

The adorable image is from Nellie Snellen.   I've not coloured her before and I know she is already one of my favourites from the collection with the cute little squirrel.

I am also addicted to Glamour Dust. It is so much finer in texture than stickles and looks fantastic.  You need some clear wet glue (I use glossy accents) and sprinkle it on, and you get a stunning sparkle.

Hope you like my card.

Sharing a biscuit...or a sandwich!

Today’s card is another Nellie Snellen image that I’ve been wanting to ink up for a while and just not got round to it! I just love this stamp! It’s called ‘Sharing a biscuit’ and reminds me of a friend who was recently walking through a park eating her lunch when she found herself surrounded by squirrels…so what did she do? She shared her sandwich!

The sentiment is from a lovely little set of Wild Rose Studio stamps called ‘Christmas Circles’. Both stamps are currently in our sale!
