Easter Egg...

Hi all!!

Well when the challenge at Uniko was announced I panicked - 

I don't send Easter cards as such and certainly had no Uniko Easter stamps -

 so had to put my thinking cap on!

This is what I came up with......

I downloaded an egg template from Google 

and cut it out leaving me with either the actual egg cut out or the negative 

- so I taped the negative onto a blank piece of card 

and chose the Uniko stamp set - Background Builders Vines, 

repeatedly stamp in spring colours to create the egg shape......and voila!!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hi everyone!!

I'm so late this week - I have had an order for 50 wedding invitations 

and the bride changed her mind at the last minute so have had no free time this week :0(

My card today is for the

LIM Challenge  Up Up and Away

I have used a CBS stamp set and a cloud die set which I think is PTI 

but was a gift because a crafty friend had doubled up and it had no packaging.

Sure wish I was on that balloon!!!
