Morning All!!
Over at As You Like It Challenge it's Cute or Floral?
My longsuffering standing friends and followers will know the answer from me is CUTE!! I do have floral stamps that I use for grown up cards, from time to time, but mostly I will reach for a cute stamp or image. The reason...cute justs fit with my love of patterned papers, that are mostly contemporary in design, and the non fussy style that I favour.
Here is my cute inspiration for you, made using a rubber stamp set from our sponsor LOTV . Coloured with Promarkers and mounted behind some pretty Marianne Designs paper into which I had die cut port holes framed with coordinating paper.
I faffed about with sentiments, die cut ones, stamped ones and just wasn't happy so ended up with a very old, sweet little oval from Craftwork Cards. Just right, I think.
It looks like the weather is going to be good for the Easter Weekend. My word, didin't we have some rain earlier in the week, much needed in the garden actually and it meant Martin didn't need to water our six new £1.79 clematis that we picked up in Aldi last week...yes £1.79!!
I wish you all a peaceful and Happy Easter xx
Love your fabulous cuties, pretty paper and layout Sarah,a brilliant birthday card I love cute images but with mostly adult men in the family don't often get the chance to use them.
ReplyDeleteLove your LOTV Bunny trio Sarah, the DP is just right as is the sentiment. I have a load of those Craftwork card sentiments in the bottom of a box somewhere, must use them! Well done Martin on his bargain clematis, Aldi do have some fab bargains. :)
ReplyDeleteA super cute card Sarah and love how you've coloured your bunny backgrounds to match the pretty paper. Have a good weekend x
ReplyDeleteI love cute images too and these little bunnies are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe pretty floral paper makes for a beautiful Spring birthday card.
Happy Easter!

So cute, I love those images. Pretty papers too. Elaine
ReplyDeleteWe all have our own styles Sarah and I always think that whilst it's good to stretch yourself it's more enjoyable to stick with what makes you happy. And you do this style so well and as I can't always enjoy seeing others who can.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, maybe a nice hack out in warmer weather.

ReplyDeleteEek too cute and I love that paper! Have a great Easter xx
ReplyDeleteAwww so cute Sarah! Hope you got some of that Easter sunshine, no sign of it here!
ReplyDeleteYou just can't beat LOTV images and you've put them to great use in this lovely cute card, Sarah. You have reminded me of some Craftwork Cards stash languishing in a cupboard and I must have a sift through to see what goodies are there.
ReplyDeleteHope the bargain Clematis are doing well after the rain.
Hope you are well and had a lovely Easter.

Oh Sarah, this is such a sweet and cute birthday card. The floral paper is just perfect for these cute bunnies.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Easter with your loved ones.
Have a wonderful day, and Sarah, thank you so much for all the lovely and encouraging comments you have left on my blog. I appreciate and enjoy reading each and everyone of them.
Big hugs,

Hi Sarah, apologies for not commenting much, I always loose crafting time (which includes blogging) in school holidays and this Easter has been no exception! I will be around more now that TTT's back at school (though whether you see that as a good thing or a threat I don't know :-) ).
ReplyDeleteYour card is super cute - who doesn't love LoTV - and you've done them proud. I tend to go for the cute person image, rather than cute animal or flowers. I do like colouring hair and skin! I also have rather a lot of those Craftwork Cards sentiment toppers, but don't really use them much at all anymore.
Hope you had a good Easter.
Sarah
Incredible project and most lovely colours here x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, the papers go perfectly with those cute bunnies.

ReplyDeleteSo darn cute and adorable, Luv Sam x
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet! LOVE your cute creations, this is really lovely Sarah. The paper is gorgeous too! I so need to pull out my LOTV for a play. I really like this slimline design with the wee windows. Utterly fab. Hugs, Wends xoxo
