ANYTHING BUT A CARD AT BUGABOO STAMPS

On Mondays we get to show you that the images at Bugaboo Stamps re so versatile and can be used on non-card projects, such as my altered notebook here:

The wire bound notebook had a cover that just called out to be altered, so I used the Bugboo image called AVA HEART and printed onto textured beige cardstock, and then coloured her using Copics, a white gel pen, Stickles on her wings and Glossy Accents on the hearts

I added a quote as a sentiment and a big gem for a little bling.

Thanks for visiting today.

HOPPY EASTER

I used a free colouring page image from the internet to create this card:

It's coloured using Copics and I used Stickles on the bunny's tummy, tail and on the Easter eggs in the basket

I used a corner punch on the corners of the white CS, dark pink CS mats, pink DP and a handmade flower made partly from the offcuts of the envelope punch board.

Thanks for visiting!
