Hi everyone! Isn't she cute snuggling with her bunny? I love this stamp from the Greeting Farm! BTW, Stamps from the Greeting Farm now also available in Germany, right here ! This card was actually meant to be my entry for the Color Throw Down challenge, but unfortunately I'm too late, my bad!

Hello everyone and Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was pretty relaxing, we enjoyed the steaming hot weather, having BBQ and were swimming in the pool. My card for today shows one of Nellie Snellen's Smookie images . I totally adore this little Dragon. Isn't he the cutest hanging on to the balloon? I colored him with Copics and Spica Glitter Pens. All my papers are from my scraps box. I definitely have to use my scraps more often I got loads of it! I distressed the edges around the image using Tim Holtz distress ink Spiced Marmalade. I cut out the image using Polka Dot Frame die from Spellbinders. Otherwise I kept the card pretty simple. Just a ribbon and a ssome Basic Grey Blingz in the corners. For all the details on products used scroll down to the cards recipe at the end of the post! Hallo und einen schoenen Start in die neue Woche! Ich hoffe ihr hattet alle ein schoenes Wochenende.
