Hello everyone! Wow it's been almost two weeks since my last posting. Sorry for being MIA but it's a very busy time for me at the moment here at home and I'm also working on my magazine projects for the new Whimsy Inspirational Magazine :) But I found a card I made last year and haven't shared with you yet. It was published in Whimsy's Inspirational Magazine issue 9 . It's a clean and simple one layer card. I colored the Whimsy digital image 'Crabby Cranston' with Copics and used 120lbs cardstock from Gina K. Here's a closer look on the image  Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend all!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter! Today I have my last LOTV GD card to show. In celebration of Easter I used one of the cute bunny images called 'The Lost Balloon'.

Image was stamped onto X- press it card with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic markers. DP is from Little Darlings and the flowers used are from WOC. Button, ribbon, bunny charm, brad and pearls are from my stash. The metal corner embellishment is from Hobby Lobby and the square paper doily I found on ebay. I also added some sparkle to the bunnies tails with Stickles Stardust.
