Easter Stripes

Hi friends! Its time for the weekly challenge at the Shabby Tea Room. This week's challenge is hosted by Charlene, and she thought it would be fun if we all used pastels and stripes on your card or project. 

Since this week's sponsor is The Ribbon Reel, I thought it would be fun to use a lot of yummy ribbon on my card. I didn't want to overwhelm my card with too much ribbon, so I just used a pretty Spellbinders shape to cut the ribbon panel. I kept the rest of the card simple so the fun ribbon stripes could be the star of the show.

I couldn't resist stamping that little bunny, from Papertrey Ink's Place Please stamp set, inside the card again. 

The Shabby Girls created some amazing projects this week, so be sure to visit their blogs too.

Little Lamb

Hi there! Here's my card for this week's Shabby Tea Room challenge. I used a digital stamp from this week's sponsor Robyn's Fetish. The stamp I used is called Lily Lamb. 

I used a photoshopping (I know..I make up words..) program to lighten the stamp for a softer look. I then did some textured shading with a couple of gray Copic markers...after that was done I used some distressing ink to age the and distress the little lamb image for a more vintage look.

Be sure to check out all the inspiration from the Shabby Girls-
