Oldie But Goodie - Bugaboo Stamps


It's my turn today to inspire you with a card made featuring one of the super pretty older Bugaboo images.

This is called Flower Jar that I coloured using alcohol markers in an autumn/fall themed palette.

It is layered onto a paper doily image, and then onto real hessian/burlap.  I added some pearls and a peel off sentiment.

A DAY FOR DAISIES SHOWCASE - MISS CLAIR CLOWN

The itty-bitty cutie pie image on my card is called "Miss Clair Clown, and she's available in the A Day for Daisies store here


I merged the image with a digital image of a circus tent before printing and colouring using alcohol markers.

I also used the following:

sewn on flower sequins and beads, and a shiny butterfly

A DAY FOR DAISIES : SPRING FLOWER HAIR


It's my turn today to post a project on the A Day for Daisies blog, and my card features the beautiful image called Spring Flower Hair.

I coloured the image using alcohol markers and a white gel pen.

The image is matted onto pink cardstock, and  pink and orange polka dot ribbons are the embellishment.  A metal charm with the words 'Live, Laugh, Love' is certainly a perfect recipe for happiness, I think!
