Hi everyone! Hope your weather is warming up a little! Ours has been up and down kind of all over the chart. We even had a few days in the 70's. However, that didn't last too long! This weekend it is suppose to warm up again, wahooooo!

I want to share an Our Daily Bread Designs "Sneak Peek".

The lovely image is from Our Daily Bread Design‘s "Mothers Day" to be released April lst. The image was stamped several times and colored using reinkers and brush. I then cut them out using the die made exclusively to cut out the poppy image. It works like a dream. The image was framed using Spellbinders Oval Nesties and Lables 17. The background was embossed using an SU embossing folder. The decorative border was done using a M/S punch. Zva pearls and ribbon were added.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope your are have a fabulous week! Hugs!

This is a sneek peek of Rubbernecker's soon to be released FLORALS ROSE (SKU 529-02). The lovely rose was stamped and colored using copic markers. After stamping the image a second time I colored and cut out several of the leaves and popped them up. The image was cut out using Spellbinders Oval Nestibilities and framed using a Spellbinders diecut. I stippled around the rose using Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass distress ink. The background was embossed using an SU E/F and then I scored the bottom. Pearls were added in each corner.
