Scare up some fun.

Hello there friends!!! Hope you all are having a beautiful Monday.. I am having a big time fight with my laptop, it has suddenly decided to stop working from Saturday, I don't know what happened there but it has so tremendously slowed down and I don't have patience to tackle with it.. We have been trying to tune up/clean up but it still works the same... So before it stop working again let me jump to my todays card...

I have used this super cute image from Gerda Steiner Designs, you can check her rubber stamps here.. I colored this little guy with Copics on Neenah Solar white cardstock. The DP's are from MME. The sentiment is from Amy R stamps and I used some rhinestones for embellishment.

I have used the sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges. Hope you liked my card..
Thanks for stopping by!!

Sunshine & Happiness

Hello there friends!! My last DT post for Butterfly Reflections Ink!! :(
Here is my card for you...

I have used this super gorgeous die cut feathers from Kelly Purkey Second City collection from Basic Grey, I added glue to just the paper feathers as the 3 feathers on the left are all vellum so I added glue only behind the sentiment for the vellum feathers, the sentiment is from Pink Paislee Hello Sunshine stickers.

For the background I flicked some red glimmer spray mist, I also added some sequins for embellishment. I have used the sketch from CTS #94...

Hope you liked my todays card. And finally I want to thank Vanessa for this amazing opportunity, I really really enjoyed my time here. Thank you so much Vanessa.
