STAMP SOMETHING!

I decided to make a clean & simple-ish card this week, I have had this fab Meljen image for ages but never used it! But the bunny was fab to colour & I used my glitters & flock on him!

I have used a DL card for my bunny, I think I might have to sneak this into Nige's bag that he takes to work! Just so he knows I'm thinking of him! x Yeah I know soft, but I often stick a sticky note on his lunch box so when he gets it out of his bag there's a note from me! I thought a card would make a change lol!

 I have gone over the HELLO with my pink flock & used glitter on his cute little bunny tail!

Challenges I Would Like To Enter

Top Tip Tuesdays- animals.... my tip....is to use a quicky glue pen when using glitter or flocking!
