Friends and Unicorns (Yampuff image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been making a lot of my own backgrounds lately and here's another of my experiments. I have a few stencils and just received some textured paste (I think it might be called moulding paste actually). I absolutely love it! You can use a trowel to smooth it over the stencil onto your cardstock and leave it to dry for a while. Once it was dry I put the stencil back on and then used my distress inks to blend a couple of colours together. By putting the stencil back on it protects the white background from accidentally getting any ink on it. The gorgeous sentiment comes from Tiddly Inks and I think the unicorn is from Yampuff.

Easter girl with carrot and bunnies card (Yampuff image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a couple more Easter cards to show you today. I found a really old patterned paper from my stash, this was a DCWV paper and it really is lovely, the rainbow hearts are glittered. I think this has been in my stash since I started scrapbooking about 8 years ago! Definitely time to use it especially as it has such lovely Spring colours. I used an image from Yampuff, I'm not sure of the link but it was a free image online. She was lovely to colour.
