A card and a video

Monday already, sheesh that weekend was over before it began!  Today I have another of those cute little mice cards to share that I did for a magazine commission a while back. 

The stamp is Champagne Fountain from Lili of the Valley.  The paper is K&Co Sweet Nectar and the fabulous Lamp and Sign die is from Marianne Design.  It’s just perfect to put a sentiment on I think and the stickles just seems to make it pop off the card (needed with the strong colours in the paper I think Smile with tongue out

The lace and 20mm rose is from Wild Orchid Crafts

I have at last managed to complete the set of colouring videos I started way before Christmas, it’s up on the Ideas to Inspire blog and I will pop it on my Video Tutorials page later.  Apologies for the hash with the green, it will teach me to check the markers are full before I start shooting a video.  Today’s offering is more of a comedy of errors … how not to shoot a video Bev!

And now for a wee give away.  I was searching for a die yesterday and found this adorable little bear from Go Kreate.  I have had it for a couple of years now and loved it so much I bought two (although I can’t remember doing that, honest!!)  So if you would like it please leave a comment and I will draw a winner later tonight.  Winner has now been drawn

Have a brilliant week

hugs
