I placed the panel in the Floating Flowers Embossing Folder so that the colour would be on the debossed side and ran it through my die-cutting machine. I ..read more

Hello my friends, I have a confession. A certain gentleman known as Mr Rabbit has absolutely stolen my heart and if you watched the YouTube Live launch of the latest stamp set and dies from Tim Holtz, Stampers Anonymous and Simon Says Stamp, you'll know why. What an adorable image, look at that sweet face and the detail is amazing. I made an Easter theme card with Mr Rabbit as the star of the show and used the rest of images to create texture and background accents. I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 5" x 7", inked the distressed plaid image from the Mr Rabbit stamp set with Distress Embos ..read more
