Cuddly siblings...

Hi everyone and a Happy Friday! I have a card to show you today using one of my favourite images from the Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love collection called ‘Cuddly Siblings’.

 

These gorgeous papers are from the new Kaisercraft ‘Turtle Dove’ pad…who’d have thought that Christmas inspired papers could be so versatile!

Here’s a close up of the image coloured with copics…if you look closely, you’ll see a little surprise…as if by magic, between finishing my card and photographing it, I discovered that a little smile had appeared on Tilda and Edwin’s faces!! Awh, those sibling cuddles are so special aren’t they…no matter how big you grow!

Tilly with Presents

The weekend’s here and although it’s not quite summer, I’m looking forward to a dessert of strawberries and chocolate! So, to get me in the mood, I thought I’d have a play with the new mouth-wateringly delicious Wild Rose Studio papers ‘Strawberry Picnic’...well, whilst it’s perhaps still not the weather for a picnic, I can dream can't I?!

The stamp that I’ve used today is from the new Wild Rose Studio Tilly Collection – these are such cute stamps! This one is called ‘Tilly with Presents’ – isn’t she just so darn cute peeping out from behind the presents?!

The sentiments are from the Whimsy ‘Celebration Circle Pennants’ set and die cut with the Whimsy’ Circle Pennants’ die set. I can’t claim any credit for the design of the banner, which is Lisa’s idea…I thought it looked so great on her card a few weeks ago, that I decided to give it ago, so out came my DMC threads to string the banner together...so quick and easy to do, and so effective, me thinks!

Recipe:

Products listed available at The Stamp Basket

Stamps: Tilly with Presents; Whimsy ‘Celebration Circles Pennants’

Papers: Wild Rose Studio ‘Strawberry Picnic’ 6 x 6 paper pack

Card: Craftwork Cards Straight Edge Card Pack; Bazzill Carob
